I appreciated the central location. It was close to the Tube. I also liked the friendly staff. They took care of my luggage since I arrived a little early. I also got a free drink voucher. It was tasty.
The lift did not start on the ground floor, that was a problem. You needed to use stairs to reach the first floor. The room was too small. It only included a double bed.

small roomlate noise
It was hard to move around comfortably. I think the term used to describe the room type is misleading, and it should be made clearer how compact it is. the music from the bar went on quite late, and it was difficult to sleep well. The noise really carried up to the room. It was a definite disturbance.
