friendly staff clean room
i arrived earlier than expected, the staff kindly stored my bags. the room was clean and the location was convenient. the hotel is located close to the tube station (it took only two minutes to walk there). there is also a lovely bar nearby.
my room was on the ground floor above the underground. the trains were running until late. the earplugs provided indicate an ongoing issue.

cramped room inconsistent temperature
The location was pretty decent. It was close to the tube station.
The room felt pretty cramped. also, the shower was a joke. The water pressure was weak, so it was hard to rinse off soap. plus, the temperature was so inconsistent that it kept switching between freezing and scalding hot.
