a good stay

themed roomgreat detailgood varietydesignated parking
the themed room was beautifully decorated. i found the attention to detail quite excellent. the breakfast provided a good variety of options (i especially loved the fresh pastries!). the designated parking lot was very convenient and appreciated.
i noticed that the walls were a bit thin, so i could occasionally hear some noise from other rooms.

the location is pretty convenient, with the underground station only a short walk away.
I found the room to be quite noisy. I could hear every creak and conversation from the rooms above, and i found it really disturbing.

acceptable but with issues

stale pastriesmusty smell
The breakfast was a real letdown. Pastries tasted stale and seemed straight from a packet. Meats were in supermarket packaging with no utensils provided. the absence of staff was noticeable. No one was readily available for assistance or to address concerns. to top it off, there was a strange, musty smell lingering in the bathroom, which really soured the experience. Overall value was questionable, considering these problems.

The guest house location is close to a park. The tube station to London is also nearby. There were plenty of local shops around the corner.
The breakfast pastries tasted stale. The hotel sits on the main road. The old windows let in traffic noise at night.
