perfect locationbig bednice staffoutdated area
The location was indeed a highlight. It offered quick access to attractions. the room i had included a big bed that ensured restful sleep. the staff was generally approachable and ready to assist.
i did encounter a noticeable issue, the communal area showed visible signs of wear. stains marked the carpets and some clutter affected the overall atmosphere negatively.

The location has a quick access to transport. The bus stop is nearby. My room had an attached bath, I was pleased. The heating system in the room worked perfectly!
The proximity to the railway resulted in some noise intrusion.

The hotel is near a tube station. I got into central areas quickly. there are also plenty of bars close, fantastic for a night out. the staff was also friendly and always ready to help with directions and suggestions. I appreciate the great service i got!
the noise from outside was a bit too much. the streets are busy, so bringing earplugs is a good idea.
