Great location. We booked this place as it was affordable. Everything was clean and in working order. Doesn’t have A/C so we found it a bit warm. They do have fans which help a bit.

For a single traveler it had everything I needed. Some might say the rooms are small but suited me down to the ground. I can’t speak for those that travel in pairs. I would definitely use the hotel again.

The staff were great: very helpful, attentive, kind and ready and willing to help. It's very close to lots of great places and within walking distance of Victoria Station. It's a quiet and safe area. Please note that you have to use the stairs as there are no elevators. This was perfect for me as I am solo travelling. I am very satisfied with the booking. They also offer a baggage storage service and early check-in for £15.
