This was a great hotel to stay at! The location is really close to multiple underground and bus stations. The staff were very accommodating and super friendly. The room was cleaned up everyday, which was greatly appreciated and the double room was perfect for two people. Definitely would stay here again if I go to London again!

Stayed for a night as was in town for a show at Royal Albert Hall. This was perfect for the night. It is a small hotel, and the room (especially shower) was small, but I didn't need anything more. The lobby is spacious and clean, the staff friendly and helpful.
