Great location, clean hotel! Nice staff!
Perfect location where we could hop onto the Underground and it was close to so many restaurants and museums right in the area. The staff was so friendly and professional. We will definitely keep this hotel in mind for future visits. Highly recommend!

Overall, the hotel was great. Location is ideal as the tube station is just across the street. Hotel is clean. Amenities are nice. My only complaint was front desk staff was pretty rude at check-in.
