I booked this last minute after my original arrangements fell through. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Property was perfectly situated close to the tube and attractions without feeling “touristy” would absolutely stay here again!

The brunette lady at the Reception was absolutely brilliant when I checked - in. I was a little early and her customer service skills were exceptional. Unfortunately I didn't catch her name but I would be grateful if you could please pass on my thanks. The staff at Breakfast were also great and my overall experience was positive. Fantastic hotel, Fantastic Staff and Fantastic stay. Thank you very much.
