What a gem of a hotel! Rooms were pristine and cozy, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The location couldn't have been better, being so close to the tube station and transport links, plus the added bonus of having a lively pub downstairs. However, the dining options were a bit limited, mainly focusing on hamburgers. Despite that, the value for money overall was excellent.
