Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, a little bit of dust on the surfaces but hardly. The bed was fine in terms of comfort, the mattress wasn’t great but it was manageable. The bathroom was compact but decent, the shower was good. The room was small but not claustrophobic. The service was friendly and welcoming, and security is good. It’s close to shops and tube stations. The breakfast is excellent. Overall, I’ve rated this very good.

Great location. Quiet, on a beautiful street opposite a small park/garden. M&S just a couple of blocks away. Good basic small hotel. Nothing fancy, but also nothing disturbing like many comparably priced hotels. Excellent value for the money. No lift. My single room was VERY small, and they were helpful in offering a larger one, but I decided to stay to be opposite the garden. Kind helpful staff.
