Guests frequently highlight the modern, clean rooms, often equipped with amenities such as a water heater along with tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.

tube noisesoundproofed claim
The room i got was supposedly soundproofed. that was a lie. i could hear the tube trains all night long. Earplugs did nothing. the staff's explanation of "vibrations" was almost as annoying as the noise. i expected a bit more peace.

A decent stay

helpful staffuseful provisionsmall roomstressful process
The staff was helpful and friendly. I appreciated the provision of an iron and ironing board upon request as this was very useful.
The room was small. It was difficult to find space for luggage. I also found the check in process to be stressful. I used my husband's card to book and even though I had confirmation, I still was required to pay again.

the location was quite convenient near public transport. the room was clean and the temperature was easy to adjust! i appreciated the staff providing an iron and ironing board promptly. my room faced the back, and the noise level at night was acceptable.
the room was small, and it didn't fully resemble the pictures, though it was functional.
