I love the 3 single beds. I was there with my 2 best friends and loved the separate beds. We were able to walk safely to the Tube and loved our local Pub and other eating places. Thank you, 3 American Gals. We will be back.

The best in hospitality.

This was my second stay and all the staff were hospitable and made my stay very pleasant. I was disappointed that the temperature in the room was not adjustable and it was a little cold. However, the service is really top notch and well worth the stay.

This was a gem of a hotel in a very desireable area of London. I felt very cozy in my single bed room that had a lovely renovated bathroom, a kettle and milk, tea and coffee and a TV.
