Excellent location and room facilities
The location is bravo - the tube station exit and supermarket are both within 2 min walk. The room is extremely comfortable overall and we like it very much. The toiletries are excellent and the coffee capsule is nice. The only thing to improve is it would be good to have a kettle.

Good central location for access to the Old Town and train station. It is located, whereby depending on your room, you may look out onto a busy road with offices at eye level, but this did not seem to disrupt our stay too much. The bathroom is slightly outdated but does fit with the aesthetic of the room. You can hear some street noise but overall a very comfortable and pleasant stay for a few days. The breakfast is plentiful with lots of choice.
