Stayed at this property for 2 nights. Right across the street from underground station which is so convenient to get around. Boots and Tesco express right there as well. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Shower was powerful and hot. I will absolutely stay here again.

The hotel is excellent, this is the second time I’m in this hotel. The only bad experience I had was the kitchen, two times (different days) I called them and they said I couldn’t have food, but the hotel says I can order food anytime, the only thing is I have less option, so at this time I was unhappy with this exclusive service.

Hotel is in a great central location and very close to tube station. Very friendly and helpful staff, great buffet breakfast. It's an old building so navigating with large luggage can be difficult. Rooms a bit small, but very clean with all amenities. I'll stay tere on future visits
