The convenience of location, affordability of a safe, comfortable room, and being so close to Hyde Park and other great locations, with a walkable distance to Paddington Station. I would definitely do this again and have a longer stay/ layover in London.

As this was summer accommodation for the price it was reasonable. No tv in our room which was a shame. Maybe have some in stock for those that wish to have one. The Eastside bar/ restaurant was closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays which is useless for those on a long weekend city break, there must be enough people around to operate the facility. We had to go across to Pret in the main Imperial building if we wanted a coffee or a snack and then walk to a pub if we wanted a drink. The surrounding area is lovely and Princess Gardens was great to sit in. Easy access to Hyde Park and museums also the Albert Hall. We will definitely go again before term starts in September.
