"The location was fantastic - it was on a very quiet side street only a couple minutes walk from restaurants, the tube and a supermarket. The staff were friendly, and always willing and able to help. The room was basic, but had working air conditioning and a very convenient kitchen area, with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, which all came in handy. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

"Amazing stay! The room was small, but very clean and organized. The location was great for a solo traveler and felt safe. It is also about a 10 minute walk to Paddington Station, which was easy to get from the airport and back. There’s a tube and bus station nearby, so easy access to transportation and getting around the city. I would stay here again!!"
