Friendly staff, and good facilities. Excellent value for money and great location, especially if you're not planning to spend much time there and just want somewhere to sleep after a night out in London

The location is perfect — super convenient, and I really love the area. The staff are very friendly, and the common areas like the kitchen and lounge are very comfortable. The free pancakes on weekends are amazing. Definitely recommended!
