6.9Verified guest“Clean and pleasant, with friendly staff. The twin/double room was cool, the bed exceptionally comfortable, and I had a private bathroom.”
6.9Verified guest“Great location, comfortable room but a bit small for a family of four. Breakfast was decent but could offer more variety. It's pricey for what you get. Good night guarantee is fine. The room rate was really cheap and represents 100% value for money. Would definitely stay again.”
6.9Verified guest“Clean hotel with efficient staff. I was upgraded to a twin/double room complimentary, a nice gesture. I really enjoyed the bathtub in my private bathroom. The location was superb, close to the train station — Charing Cross is a 5-minute walk. Everything was simply perfect.”
