i found the room impeccably clean with a fresh atmosphere (a true delight!). the bed offered really good comfort after a long day, and the thoughtful arrangement of the room. i also appreciated the friendly staff at check-in, a warm welcome indeed.
i noticed the bathroom was slightly dated, needing a small refresh to match the rest of the hotel's charm.

the hotel is a very short walk from the tube station, approximately three minutes if the traffic lights are in your favour. a supermarket is located across the road, it is quite convenient for picking up any necessities or quick snacks throughout the day.

The hotel's location proved excellent for my conference at excel centre. i found the underground station to be a short five minute walk away. It was very convenient. the breakfast offered a great variety and i found it tasty. The friendly staff kept everything well stocked. i appreciated the cleanliness of my room and the good working order of all its facilities.
The water drained quite slowly in both the sink and the shower. I mentioned it upon checkout.
