“This Westminster location offers a genuinely local feel, steps from major attractions and multiple Underground lines. I particularly like the on-site pub serving Fuller's ales, alongside the fact that breakfast comes included. It's a solid choice for those wanting something more personal than a large chain.”

I found the location convenient. It was only a short walk to major attractions. the included breakfast had a great variety and the waitstaff were very friendly. i appreciated the attentive service from fabio at the front desk. He addressed all my needs. the atmosphere in the pub downstairs was also a highlight for my evening meal.
the small size of the nightstand was a minor inconvenience .

The hotel is in a great location for visiting Westminster.
The breakfast was acceptable, but cleanliness was not. The mugs smelled of dirty washing up liquid and dirty bodies. I asked for a clean one and received another equally smelly mug.

Really good Stay Near Key Attractions
convenient location short walk good space great choice
The location proved convenient. It provided easy access to various attractions. The tube station was a short walk. The room had good space. The breakfast was a good experience. There was a great choice for vegans, with many cooked options available. The room included multiple herbal teas and bottled water in the fridge.
The hotel gave only one small bottle of still water and one sparkling water. This water was only for the entire stay and not provided daily.
