We have stayed here before as its location to the tube line is excellent. Our room was spacious and clean but a little dated , unfortunately the railway line was close to our room so we heard a lot of trains all through the night. Breakfast was offered at 10 which we would have had if we had more time.

We booked 2 rooms for our group and we requested them beside each other which was honoured and much appreciated. The hotel is perfectly located in a quiet area very close the public transport links. Ideal for easy access for day sight seeing. Rooms were a decent size and very clean. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast had many options. We didnt eat lunch or dinner as we were out most of the day. Would definitely return.
