Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and comfortable. Shower rooms and bathrooms were also clean and in good repair. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food available was good and reasonably priced. There was a little bit of noise into the early hours on one night from other residents, they were outside till late as the weather was so warm. Overall I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

I’m so grateful for this place!! This was the perfect place to stay and for my first time to London by myself I felt so safe there. It was extremely clean, easily accessible, and everything I could’ve needed for a price that worked for me and made a trip to London possible. If you’re a solo traveler this is perfect and a major step above a hostile.
