The hotel's location is the only positive aspect; you pay for it. The rooms, although small as expected, lacked space, especially in the basement layout with a double bed and two singles, making movement difficult. A dressing table substituted a desk, but it was impractical. Service is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, offering a homely atmosphere. The proximity to various attractions is convenient, but the hotel stands out mostly for its location. The dining options are limited, especially for non-meat eaters, missing basic items like tomatoes and mushrooms.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. I loved the feature of having a balcony in the room, but the layout was a bit inconvenient as I had to walk around the bed sideways. The central location was great for exploring London attractions, though it seems to be the main selling point due to its limitations.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and a decent size for a family of four, but I wish they were a bit larger. The service was friendly and helpful, although the breakfast dining experience could have been improved with more variety. The location was great for both business and leisure, with easy access to key areas. Overall, a good value for money option with some minor areas for enhancement.
