Great location. We booked this place as it was affordable. Everything was clean and in working order. Doesn’t have A/C so we found it a bit warm. They do have fans which help a bit.

Clean, comfortable. A little small but it’s within walking distance of everything you need. Staff was helpful telling us about parking rules. All in all worth it if you want downtown London without paying an arm and a leg
