pleasant stay

bath products nespresso machine coffee free juice tourist spots tube station small bedroom hard sofa soft bed
The room had lovely bath products and a nespresso machine, i appreciated this! the lounge on the 5th floor offered coffee and juice. This was a nice perk. a tube station was very close, and some tourist spots were within walking distance.
the bedroom was a little small for two people. i found the hard sofa uncomfortable. the bed itself was soft though.

FANTASTIC stay!!!

attentive staff comfortable stay nice lounge
The staff were consistently cute. Anastasia and Mohammed were attentive. They ensured my stay was comfortable. I also loved the lounge on the 5th floor. Coffee and tea were available all day. It was nice.
My check-in took nearly 40 minutes. I received NO apology at all. I found this very unsafe. I specifically requested a twin room and was initially given a double room.
