Great place for a short stay!
I stayed here for 1 night last week and loved it! The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially the guy at check-in. The room was comfy and clean, with a nice bed that made it easy to catch some Zs. One downside was the fitness room was kinda small, but it had the equipment I needed. Breakfast was really good too, nice selection!

friendly staff but average room comfort
The hotel staff demonstrated exceptional friendliness, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The bar area provided a pleasant atmosphere for relaxing with a drink after a day of exploring.
The room comfort did not meet my expectations given the price point.

Request a room on a higher floor for better views, as some rooms can be relatively dark.

great amenities but a bit noisy
The room amenities were impressive. The bathroom cosmetics were high-quality, and the convenience of a Nespresso machine added a nice touch.
The noise from the street came through the window at night.

Family with children will enjoy the stay
The staff were incredibly accommodating. After a long flight, arriving at 9 am, they upgraded us to a larger room right away! And the breakfast buffet? Absolutely packed with options that kept us fueled for our days. I was especially impressed with the fresh orange juice and full English.
It wasn’t exactly inexpensive but still quite reasonable for what we got.

We visited the Natural History Museum and had an amazing time. The staff was friendly, and the breakfast was top-notch. Just a heads up, the elevator can be a bit cramped, so plan accordingly.
We had a frustrating experience when we requested a sofa bed for our son, but it wasn't made up until almost midnight, which was a hassle after a long day.
