Wonderful experience!

friendly staff great location delicious breakfast affordable price

The staff was very friendly. The location was great. Breakfast tasted good. The price was very affordable. I liked the accessibility to the tube station. It was just a short walk. I found the self-service breakfast to be a great bonus and a real treat. The kitchen had a fridge and snacks, and I appreciated that very much.

I noticed the room was a little smaller than I expected, but this was not a significant issue for my stay.
