Guests frequently appreciate the well-equipped, clean, and comfortable rooms, many of which feature kitchenettes with amenities such as pots, pans, cutlery, fridges and multiple types of outlets, with some noting the generous space for a central London hotel.

Strategic Location, Comfortable Stay

functional stove equipped kitchenette strategic location effective soundproofing
The room had a functional stove stop and microwave. I also appreciated the well-equipped kitchenette area, stocked with various pots, pans, and cutlery. I found the location to be very strategic with access to multiple tube lines only a few minutes away. The soundproofing was effective as the city road noise was undetectable.
The breakfast options were quite limited and the buffet selection was small for the price.

The hotel is a short walk from the Barbican tube station. Multiple cafes, restaurants, and a grocery store are very close. Several different tube lines are accessible within a 5-minute walk, providing easy access to the city.
