I stayed here for two evenings as a female solo traveler and felt completely safe and secure. The rooms were small but I loved how efficient the space was set up. It was cozy and modern. Staff was great and they offered me wine and cheese upon arrival which was nice! The only negative was the mattress could have been more comfortable. But besides that I would stay here again in a heart beat. Location was great as well!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This Hotel is a low budget quality hotel. My stay consisted of a broken shower head and 2 of the 3 Elevators out of service the entire time and all of them broken for 1 day . Make aware no room safe and proper closet , just 3 knobs on a wall to hang your belongings. No daily room service and underwhelming response from the Manager about these issues should give pause . London is full of better option stays .
