Super Convenient Stay!

easy accesshelpful staffbreakfast supply
This hotel location is awesome, with easy access to public transport. I walked under a kilometer to the train and less than 500 meters to the bus. The staff are super helpful, so just ask for anything you need. I found it great that they provide eggs and bread for breakfast. Breakfast is self-service, great.
The room walls had some stains, and this was not my favorite detail.
Dining

The kitchen provides the opportunity to cook, but only between 7 AM and 11 AM. You can use it for drinks and reheating food outside these hours. I loved that they offer fruit, cereal, milk, toast, and more for us.
Location

This hotel is near the metro station, around 4 minutes away, on the District line. The bus stop to the airport is located right in front of the hotel. I found easy connection to popular areas, including Greenwich and the city center.
Rooms
