"Checked in at 2:50pm and given a room on the second floor. The room was clean and the TV worked well but doesn’t have many channels. The WiFi works well. A didnt like the fact the shower over the bath and the shower has poor water pressure. The air cooling system worked as not so hot outside in October The location is poor and very noisy and sadly the Tesco has closed near the hotel. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which is good. Overall it’s not bad value for money."

"This is a solid, very nice mid-tier hotel. Nothing fancy but great for an affordable stay. Its location is excellent, right next to a major underground stop. The only disappointment was the restaurants: breakfast buffet - decent not more; Hell’s Kitchen - well presented, but pricey and not very flavorful, and Lirica - below average in many ways. Bar was terrific however! So best to go elsewhere for dinners."
