The hotel had very spacious rooms with great facilities throughout, but there were too many flies and insects due to the window being left open for a long time. The service was a mix of being really helpful and very unprofessional and rude at times. The location was excellent, close to public transport and key attractions, although undergoing upgrades. The dining experience was not worth the money, offering a grab and go breakfast which lacked variety. Overall, a good choice for those seeking convenience and comfort despite some shortcomings.

Checking in at 8 pm, I found out my room wouldn't be ready for another two hours. However, the hotel is conveniently close to the city center and just a short walk from the tube station. There's a shop next door for any food needs, making it a nice base for exploring London, especially for family stays. On the downside, the room was filthy.

The rooms were spacious, suited for a family with older children, but the uncomfortable sofa was a drawback.
