Awesome Stay Near the Tube!

great location cute staff security measure

I really enjoyed my time there. The location is superb, and the tube station is so close. The staff was very cute when I arrived, which I appreciate. The security measures with multiple locks.).

The shower needed better maintenance because the shower area needed some work. I was surprised that the shower was not in great condition.

Location

9/10

The hotel has a very convenient location near public transport. A market is nearby and several coffee shops are within walking distance. The proximity to the tube station makes accessing other parts of the city very easy.

Facilities

8/10

The hotel offers separate entrances and exits for added convenience. Guests can leave their luggage after checkout, so that they can enjoy the last day. There is a pub with really good food, I tell you!

Rooms

9/10

I had a light, airy room with a comfortable bed. The room included cereal bars and fresh orange juice, a nice touch (especially the orange juice!). Rooms have a smart TV for entertainment.

Dining

Although breakfast was not available, the pub downstairs serves good food. A supermarket is across the street, offering options for breakfast and snacks. Guests can get a takeaway for a large fish and chips nearby.
