The single beds width extremely small. Breakfast starts at 6.30 am so not ideal if someone has early flight. One hour from Heathrow. Location is good and hotel clean. Also breakfast was good and downstairs area is lively. Staff are cooperative and polite.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff here are very horrible. They just think you are coming in hotel to steal. Everytime you leave and come back you asked if you are staying and asked to show ID. It’s not a friendly or welcoming place to stay. Especially when you are the one paying for the room. I had the same experience with this hotel last time and I complained at the time. Decided to give them a benefit of the doubt as maybe it was a bad day that time but no. Same attitude same meet and great as before. I will never stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

Convenient hotel in central London. Easy access to public transport and close walking distance to major attractions. The room was a bit small, but good value for money nonetheless.
