Handy Spot Close to the Tube
short walk dining option quiet street friendly staff
The hotel is a short walk to the Underground station. This made traveling around convenient. Many dining options are nearby, yet it is on a quiet side street. My room was an adequate size, and the bed felt clean. I found the staff to be both helpful and friendly.
The radiator in my room was a bit dusty.
