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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I had a standard room with a double bed. I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times. You should be prepared for the furniture and woodwork in the rooms to be worn, which makes them look rather dated. My room this time had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke but it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was fresh and well equipped. The breakfast buffet was excellent as usual.

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.
