The bathroom was good, the bedroom was fine. No bells or whistles but not bad for a couple of nights.
Pimilco Fresh (1 min walk) was great for breakfast!

Comfortable and clean, all in all a nice stay. Only drawback was having to queue for breakfast, not enough tables in a room too small.

Great value, clean and comfortable beds. Central location. For the money you can’t fault it it!! Compact rooms but all you need for a nights or twos rest visiting London as a family. Small double bed and two singles in our family room. Great location!
Friendly check in staff.

It was odd that there was no sink near the toilet. Also soap and shampoo was not refilled every day. Other than that service and area was good and room was comfortable

Great stay!
This is definitely our go-to hotel in London. It is a budget-friendly place with a perfect location: centrally located and a five minute walk from Victoria Station. The room was small, but clean and modern. The front desk is open 24 hours and the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included with our room and the staff are very efficient and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again!

For London, clean and excellent location. Staff was excellent and wonderful to accommodate. On the downside, breakfast is ok and the fan in the room needs to be dusted.
