Fantastic location. If you're heading to London with people on a budget this is a great stay. Rooms are a little on the small side and unfortunately staff were incredibly rude. Not all but the 2 women when checking in were awful.

Mediocre
Breakfast and the hotel were good but the staff could do with a personality refurb. Bar was closed when we were in the hotel so nothing available after 10pm.

Location was excellent. Public transportation was convenient as was walking to the museums that interested us. Not a five rating due to staff’s need to be more knowledgeable to help with tourist questions.

Walk EVERYWHERE to all the big London attractions! Lovely staff, good breakfast and the price is reasonable, given that London is outrageously expensive. Particularly convenient for theater and museum buffs, and near several underground train lines.
