This hotel is perfect if you just need somewhere to rest your head. Rooms are pretty small but didnt bother as was arriving late and leaving early. The room door was a bit stiff so you had to push firmer to close, making a bang. Felt it would disturb other guests. Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Great stay
Th staff were extremely friendly and polite. The room was perfectly clean, tidy and modern. Also the bed was very comfy and the bathroom was very well equipped. The only issue was very minor, there was some construction work going on that was quite loud from around 8am. Although the checkout time was 10am, so we were up anyway.

Nice trip in london
The hotel staff are very polite and the service attitude is very good. However, the room is arranged in G/F near the entrance and the sound insulation is relatively poor. The hotel location is very convenient. I will choose to stay here again.
