Great area to stay in. The hotel was really cute and I like the little patio areas outside the rooms. The only complaint is the room is very dark so bring a vanity mirror or something for makeup.

Great hotel just a few minutes on foot from the tube. The rooms are small but well laid out. The pool and sauna/steam room were excellent, and the hotel bar was a lot of fun. Highly recommend!
