The breakfast offered great choices, it had something for everyone. the room i stayed in had a double bed plus a single bed (good to know for future travels). i especially liked the usb lead provided. It's easy to forget chargers.
the air conditioning in the room didn't work. staff provided fans, but it remained too hot for comfortable sleep.

This hotel was a fantastic value for the location. I easily walked to Oxford Street. That area is close. My private bathroom was very clean. The free wifi worked. I also had a free safe and breakfast, which I really liked! I felt very welcome when I arrived and checked out. I would book here again!
My window faced a main road. The room was noisy! I couldn't open the screen to close it.
