The location WAS great! It was close to the tube station.
The breakfast area was a DISASTER. It was far too crowded. I had to wait 15 minutes in line. Plates were often missing, and a queue of similar length formed at the pancake machine.

the staff were unbelievably helpful. the beds were comfortable. i couldn't believe how quiet the hotel was at bedtime. the 12pm check out time was a life changer.
The bathroom has very little privacy. The shower is transparent in a way that is unnecessary.

Some Issues Noticed During My Stay

single beds faulty machines
The room I booked was supposed to have a queen-sized bed. Instead, I got two single beds shoved together. It wasn't comfortable at all! the gym was a letdown. Several machines were out of order, so my usual workout routine was completely disrupted. I found these issues really annoying.
