    It was just a balanced option for a brief pause in London with fantastic value. The staff were friendly and very helpful during my stay. Consider taking an Uber at night for safety.

    I absolutely loved being just a short walk from St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London, which made my city strolls delightful and easy to plan. the air conditioning in my room also worked great, keeping me comfortable after long days of exploring.

    flavor bomb
    cozy vibe
    mini fridge
    snug rooms
    limited alcohol

    If you're looking for a flavor bomb, try the Hungarian beef stew at Sahara Grill—absolutely to die for! Plus, the cozy vibe and the delightful mini fridge in my room made it feel like a home away from home.

    The rooms felt a bit snug, and you can't grab a drink at Sahara Grill or most spots around. Still, their mocktails shine and are worth a go!

    The wet room shower was fantastic, providing a modern touch to the facilities.

    The electrical outlets were makeshift extension cords, causing safety concerns.

    clean hotel
    comfortable room
    poor tv service
    shower issue
    inconvenient location

    Cleanliness was a standout feature during my stay, and I appreciated the comfortable bed and the efficient air conditioning. the shower pressure required some adjustment to avoid flooding, and I encountered a minor issue with the TV rebooting. the location, while vibrant, felt a bit off the beaten path for traditional tourist attractions, making evening returns slightly less convenient.

    Clean spot with decent eats nearby

    We spent two nights in a super tiny room, but it was clean overall. The location ain't the best for sightseeing, but if you love Middle Eastern food, you're in luck! Lots of places around for that. One thing though, the room was really cramped. not ideal if you're traveling with lots of luggage.

    We enjoyed our stay in the Classic Triple Room. The kids loved the cozy atmosphere, and the cleanliness was appreciated. Though the air conditioning was quite loud, the convenient location and welcoming staff made it worthwhile. Perfect for family adventures in London!

    cleanliness outstanding
    malfunctioning technology
    room size limitations

    I recently stayed here for 4 nights and it exceeded my expectations compared to previous budget stays in london. the location offered easy access to public transport and was surprisingly cozy despite the smaller room size. cleanliness was top-notch and comfortable.

    the tv kept rebooting constantly.

    cozy room
    comfortable bed
    clean equipment
    small room
    tight space

    The room was cozy, though small. The bed was super comfy and everything felt clean. It had new equipment, which was nice. The shower was decent too. Just a bit tight on space if you're used to larger rooms, but for one person, it worked well. No major weird smells this time, thankfully! Just keep in mind it's not massive, but had all I needed.
