“This property's central location, near the tube, puts the city's landmarks within easy reach; plus, the on-site bar featuring craft beer and live music gives it a distinct character. However, some past visitors have noted some minor issues relating to room upkeep and inconsistent service. For a traveler on a budget, this could be a smart base of operations.”

surprisingly quiet and convenient

good room sizeample spacenumerous socketsqr code service
the room was a good size with plenty of space for luggage, which i appreciated. i found many plug sockets, a big plus, and i liked that the window actually opened to let in fresh air. ordering extra pillows and towels via qr code was so cool (it reminded me of deliveroo!). the maids who serviced the rooms were friendly too.
the reception staff sometimes seemed a bit preoccupied with their computers and phones.

the reception staff seemed inattentive, often preoccupied with computers rather than assisting guests, and this affected the cute atmosphere one expects at a hotel.
