I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were pretty small which was a hassle with young tired children, but the second room was a bonus for privacy when traveling with others. The service was very helpful and friendly, especially at the breakfast jam cupboard, though there were some misses with room details and the promised change in room view did not happen smoothly. The location was convenient, close to the underground and various amenities, but there were some noisy disturbances like loud stomping. The dining options were average, but there are better choices nearby. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
