What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness, friendly staff, and especially the location. Many reviews highlight how easy it is to get around London from the hotel, especially for concerts and events. The rooms are described as compact but efficient, with everything you need for a short stay.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side—typical for central London—but guests say it’s a fair trade for the excellent location. Some mention that breakfast isn’t offered on-site, so plan to grab a bite nearby. A few commented on thin walls, so pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The Bottom Line

An ideal pick for concert-goers who want a clean, affordable room in central London just minutes from top venues, without the late-night noise.
