Easy access to the main attractions of London, only minutes walk to the bus and tube services. Hotel was adequate for our needs.

The room was quite dated and the shower was not very good, however building work is being carried out which will improve the hotel.

The room was minute. Old fashioned and chipped furniture. Room right over the central line so very noisy. Engineering work on line after tube service finished. No double glazing to mask noise. The room was unbearably hot, a fan was provided but this just wafted more hot air. Unable to open window due to noise. Had no sleep at all.
