This hotel is centrally located and easy to get access to undergrounds and buses. Across the street you can get the tour buses like Big Bus and Hop on Hop off and others. This hotel staff is amazing and super nice, they do care about customers and I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family. The hotel is older but the staff and the team makes up for all of their kindness. The breakfast buffet is also great and they have many varieties of food.

Clean and reasonably located. Close to central line. Can get anywhere within 30mins with public transportation. Utilitarian if that’s what you are looking for. Kind of old and showing its age. Not a lot of amenities eg no place to sit back and relax after a long day.

We experienced really lovely service from the staff on the front desk and the hotel is in a really good location. The only downside is the hotel rooms are very small. I was disappointed that the phone within our room was not working. Also, the air conditioning was very loud and not the best.

The location near the train station, restaurants and malls made our 30th year marriage anniversary fun. The hotel front desk were not honest people. They moved us 3 times first to a tiny boxed room overlooking a dilapidated algae ridden view to a double squeaky bed room with literally no airconditioner and offered us a small fan for the night which gave me cold through my 5 days stay in London. The manager offered 2 nights refund as compensation and didn’t do that neither did the hotel give us receipt for the stay till now. It was a horrible experience
