The hotel offers great rooms, especially the triple room, and provides a very quiet atmosphere, which is a nice touch. While the air conditioning didn't work, the single rooms are a bit small but perfectly suitable for a short stay.

The hotel surprised me positively, and I would definitely stay here again. The room, although a bit small, was comfortable and had an additional door that blocked out the noise from the busy main corridor. Despite the initial concerns about potential noise, it turned out to be a quiet and cozy retreat.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the tube, surrounded by amazing places to eat and attractions. The room, newly renovated with a modern bathroom, was quiet enough for a good night's sleep but a bit small, ideal if you're out exploring most of the time.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Although the room I initially had was noisy and had a bad odor, the modern and cozy replacement room with new furnishings made up for it. The location was ideal for exploring the city but lacked an elevator, and the service had its ups and downs with helpful staff for some tasks but not for others. The dining options were limited, but the hotel facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential street, close to two tube stations and surrounded by supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, and takeaways, making it convenient for guests. The rooms are adequate in size for a triple stay but would benefit from a different layout and better amenities like tea and coffee refills. The service, particularly from reservations and housekeeping, was lacking in helpfulness and friendliness. The location is rated highly for its convenience and proximity to amenities but needs regular cleaning in some areas. The dining experience offers a fair selection of cereals, fruits, and pastries despite the environment feeling like a cash and carry setup. The facilities at the hotel are decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and spacious with a well-furnished en suite bathroom, including a large walk-in shower with convenient features like a glass shelf. However, the room size was a bit small for my liking, even for a solo traveler. The location was ideal, being close to two underground stations in a quiet residential area but well-connected to the city center. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering pre-packed continental breakfast options. The service had its ups and downs, with efficient and courteous staff but some issues with noise disturbance and unhelpfulness from management.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, although a bit small, were clean with a nice view of the garden.
