The reception staff and hotel manager were very helpful with adding an additional night's stay and booking "hop on / hop off" London bus tours. Hotel breakfast was very good for the price.

The bed was quite comfortable and a very clean room. The bathroom is a bit like something like a pod you would find in a cruise ship. The downside was a broken wifi one day and the TV didn't work 1/2 the time. Very accessible to the underground and within walking distance to many wonderful sights.

The bathroom looked like a pod that was installed into the room. I felt like I was using a port-a-potty. You can see where things were starting to rust because of the material the pod is made from. The television in the room wasn’t working either. The beds weren’t comfortable and the mattress pad kept slipping off.
