The location is amazing, very close to many tube and bus lines. I found numerous grocery stores just steps away, very convenient. The staff was responsive on WhatsApp, so communication was easy. I especially appreciated the super fast wifi, it was the best I have experienced in a hotel.

My studio felt a bit smaller than expected due to its layout.

The location was great, offering easy access to many attractions. I found several supermarkets nearby, helpful for getting supplies. It was super easy to access the main sightseeing spots from here. The staff were friendly and helpful .

The room felt quite small, and it was difficult moving around the bed. Some listed amenities were missing, including a washing machine. I also noticed some dust in the room upon arrival (that was not ideal).
