A clean hotel in a convenient

A clean hotel in a convenient location. Rooms were small, but to be expected in London. Our only problem was cleaning staff trying to come into our room in the evenings (push their way through the door!) even though we asked they don't turn down our beds at night. Also, key card system was not working, therefore staff needed to let you in and out of your room each time you went out. Overall a nice hotel in a good location, however customer service could be improved.

Hôtel design très sympa, très confortable. Super restaurant. Un peu loin du centre historique (5 à 6 stations de métro). Attention pour les adeptes des bains après une longue journée de visite, les chambres ne sont équipées que de douches !!
