"I had to leave a review because other reviews don’t do the place any justice. I put 3 men into 3 rooms here. They were really nervous because the reviews weren’t to good. When they checked in and got settled, I never heard off them all week. At the end of the stay, they said it was the best room they had in a long time bear in mind they stay away most year around. They said the rooms were very clean, the facilities in the room were perfect and they had shed loads of shops in close proximity....

Very clean. Aside from towels, liquid soap & lotion, not shower cap, etc. Use of iPad for controlling temperature, blinds, lights & tv. EVERYTHING we needed for a two night stay in London."
