Staff are lovely, really helpful. Hotel itself is great, especially for the price. Great location lots of places to visit around and near to tube and train stations which is ideal. Definitely recommend
Very good value. Bedroom was Spartan but extremely clean. Very comfortable bed. The vast hotel has all the amenities you need for a good business trip. Staff are exceptionally pleasant. Recommended.
Very warm welcome especially for the children. Room well appointed, very comfortable beds and sleek decor. It was clean, and calm. The breakfast had something for everyone- the dining hall was rather noisy but well-kept by multiple staff member, who interacted nicely with my kids too. We would definitely return.
The room was clean and comfortable and a nice modern bathroom with a nice big shower but the hotel was very busy and the room is not soundproof so the noises from the neighbouring rooms and the corridor kept us awake quite a bit.
The staff were very helpful and polite. Ok for overnight or two but would not recommend for longer stays.
