Quaint and clean. Friendly staff. Convenient to tube and train. Tea & coffee available in room. Good water pressure, plenty hot. About the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in, but the bed was good and really that’s all I needed.

Great location and friendly staff, BUT beware building is right on top of picadilly train line and you can feel and hear the train every 5 minutes or less, at least that was the case in our room and reception said it was true for every room when we asked about moving to a different room. Also room was ridiculously small barely room to walk between the 2 beds pushed against the walls
