    Chur, the room was clean as a whistle and the mattress was super comfy! Just a bit cramped and no air-con made it warm at night, eh?

    cramped dining area
    small space

    The room was clean and had all the essentials, even though it was on the small side. The mattress was incredibly comfortable, and the private bathroom came with complimentary toiletries. The hotel's location was perfect for easy access to Olympia events, and the staff were absolutely charming and attentive throughout our stay.

    The dining area was a bit cramped.

    pricing issues

    The small room was impeccably clean and offered all the essentials like tea and coffee. The location was perfect for events at Olympia and very quiet for a good night's sleep. the absence of a fridge was a minor inconvenience, and the lack of iron added to my packing challenge. The pricing strategy seemed a bit misleading, and the customer service experience could use some improvement.

    event access
    central location
    small room

    The proximity to main street events offers easy access to local happenings right outside the door, making it a solid choice for those visiting for events.

    Rooms are notably cramped, with issues like no bedside sockets for charging devices and poorly designed bedside lamps. No air conditioning creates discomfort on warm nights, and the unreliable Wi-Fi disconnects frequently.

    What they got right and wrong

    The hotel was easy to find, with excellent access to the Underground, shops, and cafes. The staff were welcoming and helpful.

    Room size was on the smaller side, which may not suit those with larger luggage. there was no air conditioning, causing discomfort on warmer nights.

    Central location, accessibility to public transport, charming local area

    Room sizes are disappointingly cramped for the price!!! Inconsistent Wi-Fi connectivity frustrates guests, and the lack of air conditioning makes warm nights unbearable!!! An upgrade for bathroom facilities would vastly improve comfort!!!

    easy access
    solid choice
    unreliable wi-fi

    Had a great time with friends! We loved exploring the nearby Battersea Zoo and enjoyed the play areas and boating lake. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was a solid choice for our group with easy access to transport and local spots.

    One downside was the unreliable Wi-Fi, which made it difficult to stay connected, as it kept disconnecting during our trip.

    clean room

    Recommend it for a family visit

    It was clean, and staff were helpful when we needed help with our luggage, something I didn't expect but really appreciated. The room was comfy enough for a good night's sleep, though a bit tight with our bags.

    It was pricey, but you get what you pay for, I guess.

    value location

    Just a nice choice for spending a night in London with fantastic value for money. The small room was manageable for my bag, which I appreciated. Proximity to the tube makes getting around very easy a must-use for transportation.

    Spotlessly clean and helpful team

    I recently stayed for 8 nights and was really impressed by how clean the room was. everything felt fresh and well taken care of. The team members were attentive and made me feel welcomed throughout my stay. It was a perfect base for exploring the sights of London, which was just a few minutes walk to the tube station. the room was a bit on the small side, which could be uncomfortable for longer stays.
