I needed a hotel room for a single night stay in central London. I was traveling alone and wanted a hotel at mid price range ie clean and tidy with a window. The room was GBP 150.00 for the night without breakfast. Overall I was pleased with the room and it was clean and tidy. The decor was also good and modern. I would recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Its a lower budget room, nothing fancy. However the perks out weigh the cons such as being in a prime location. Close to stations + food. Staff are friendly and easy going. The only con I will say is the basement room was very hot/humid and we noticed the heater was on in the middle of May. We did open the windows + turned on the fan to cool things down.
