Nice stay near Greenwich

quality amenities comfortable bed
The room was spacious and featured good quality amenities. The bed proved comfortable. I appreciated the QUIET location, a short distance from the tube station. I also had a partial river view from my window.
the floor in the room was noticeably sloped. The sensation felt akin to being on a boat. I had NEVER experienced this before.

The hotel benefits from its proximity to the tube station. This allows for swift access to various destinations. Greenwich is within easy reach via the foot tunnel. The hotel is situated near the river.

acceptable stay but some issues

strong smell kitchen smell
the location was easy to find because it was near a station.
the room was quite stuffy because the fan did not work properly. i also noticed the stairs smelled strongly of food because they were near the kitchen and some extraction is needed. this made the experience less pleasant
