Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the hotel's proximity to the underground, making it easy to get around London, and the inclusion of breakfast is a definite plus. Many find the rooms spacious, and the provision of a fan is welcome during warmer periods; some have noted minor cracks on the walls. The nearby pub and the opportunity to explore Epping Forest add to the appeal for those looking to combine city access with nature.
