The hotel was not up to my expectations. The rooms felt dated and not clean, especially with the suspicion that the bed sheets were unchanged. The lack of a bath made it challenging for me as I have a baby. The premium rates did not match the mediocre breakfast offered.

The hotel has a lovely fresh smell and offers crisp, clean bedding and towels in the rooms, despite some stains on the carpet and the aged fold-out bed. The attentive and helpful service staff make up for any shortcomings, ensuring a quieter and more pleasant stay. The location is convenient for the Tower of London and transportation, although slightly noisy. The dining options are good overall, with a slightly limited hot buffet. However, the lack of onsite dining other than vending machines or takeaways could be an inconvenience.
