The hotel is in a convenient location with easy access to public transportation and main parks. The rooms are small but acceptable for two adults, although some may find them too tiny. The service is efficient and helpful, offering additional services like dry cleaning and laundry. The dining options are decent but could use more variety. A good choice for those looking for a central location, despite some room size limitations.

My stay at the hotel was a nice experience overall. The rooms, despite being small as is normal for London, were surprisingly spacious, although the bathroom was tiny. The street noise from the restaurant in front might be bothersome to some early risers. The service was lovely and polite, with staff being helpful. The location was convenient, with easy access to transportation, though the street noise can be quite noticeable at times. The dining experience was delicious, with attentive staff making it enjoyable. Overall, a decent value for money.
