The hotel is close to a bunch of tourist attractions that are accessible through the public transportation system which is walking distance away. Great location for those looking to enjoy London and what it has to offer. Only downside is that the climate control in the room isn’t working and they had a heater in the room which barely made a difference in the temperature of the room. But would definitely return!

Stunning view

The view from our room outweighs any complaints: just stunning! The desk staff guy was so nice and accommodating. The bathrooms need a little work though. We had the family room and the set up was large and perfect.

Ideal location

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this hotel. We were given a room with a superb view. The room was clean and comfortable with tea making facilities. The location is ideal for a London weekend break.

Okay but tired worn decor.

Tired 1980/90s room, clean and cool but living off the view and location. Bar service was poor and then a service charge was added. I will decide if I want to tip thankyou!

I booked the room for a special ocassion and requested a few extra things in my room such as flowers and did not receive anything. No drinking water in the room, the only source of drinking water was the sink in the bathroom. There was no heating. The mini bar had only 2 drinks ( sprite and gin). The bathroom was all mouldy and the paint was coming off the walls in some places. The room is very dark with barely any lights inside.
