The hotel is conveniently located near bus stops providing easy access to various parts of London and is a short distance from the city center. The rooms are spacious with a perfect shower but lack a convenient kettle for guests. The dining options are minimal, offering continental-style dishes without pastries or marmalade. However, the service is excellent, especially with efficient housekeeping and tour assistance. The facility provides traditional regional homemade products but lacks some modern amenities.
