The location is excellent if you travel from Heathrow. It was easy to travel all around London by Tube or bus. The area felt safe. We had a nice and clean Superior room on the 2nd floor. Good bed (not too soft). There are rooms also on the cellar floor, so notice that when thinking about which room to book. We could absolutely stay here again at Superior room. Next time I would not have breakfast at the hotel, because there are so many coffee shops and supermarkets behind the corner with fresh coffee, croissants and fruits.
