Anonymous, Oct 2024

All staff were extremely helpful during the stay. I arrived in very early and was able to leave my luggage while I shopped and visited museums near by. They also worked to get me checked in a few hours early free of charge! The rooms are gorgeous and immaculately clean. The area I would 100% recommend to anyone, it’s very safe, clean, and close to 2 main line tube stations and well as a 5 minute walk to high street shopping, 25 minutes to the museum of natural history, and some of the best restaurants in London.
