A perfect location in the city in a wonderful neighborhood. Affordable in comparison to other locations in the city, and perfect for a solo traveler. Lots of options for food nearby, however may be a bit warmer in non-colder weather. I had a great stay, and would stay here again if I could!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, a little bit of dust on the surfaces but hardly. The bed was fine in terms of comfort, the mattress wasn’t great but it was manageable. The bathroom was compact but decent, the shower was good. The room was small but not claustrophobic. The service was friendly and welcoming, and security is good. It’s close to shops and tube stations. The breakfast is excellent. Overall, I’ve rated this very good.

Great place to stay if you're on a budget. No elevator and we received a lower floor room so it was difficult to take down and bring up the suitcases
