Absolutely fantastic hotel for the money. We actually couldn’t believe it! Rooms are perfect, very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The shower is extremely powerful which made it was hard coming back to my old house in South Devon with sub-par water pressure! We were room-only so can’t comment on the breakfast but with the standard of everything else I’m sure it would be lovely. We will be back ant this hotel again when we next need to come to London!

Rooms are very small. Could not get 2 suitcases in room without having to move them into bathroom at night and then work around to use bathroom.. Good location clise to EatlCourt station . Adequate but note for two people with bags. 50/50 if I would stay there again and definitely only if travelling alone.
