Perfect location to many things and underground. Quiet hotel and staff friendly and welcoming. Room needed maintenance due to shower control but fixed quickly. Air conditioner broke but staff was attentive and attempted to fix quickly. Offered another room (we stayed with fans and windows open) and in the end gave us a small refund for the inconvenience.

We loved this property. The delux room is roomy and comfortable. Clean and quiet. The front desk staff were excellent. They helped with our plans about London. All in all, a great place. Close to the tube and dining.
