Very helpful staff, clean room, lots of amenities (slippers, bottled water, coffee, toothbrush kit, etc), big fluffy bath towels. Only very minor complaint would be that the bathroom was a little bit squishy (the toilet is facing the shower wall and I kept having to maneuver myself onto the toilet to avoid hitting my head or arm on it). Great stay here and would definitely stay again.

The area was clean, safe, and had easy access to transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself seemed to be under some construction with uneven floors and cracked walls. My room was located below ground floor and staff continued to ask why I was there even after I checked in! I was located by the front door and I could clearly hear staff talking up in the lobby.

Nice boutique hotel in great location for the tube, shopping and restaurants. Nice staff. Room was below ground with weird indoor/outdoor carpet but a few nice touches that made the room feel special. Eg coffee machine, cookies, tea pot and tea, I’d stay again.
