excellent stay near the tube!

lively pubgreat foodclean bathroomhot water
The rooms are located above a lively pub, but the noise wasn't an issue for me. the pub has great food and live music sometimes. i could easily grab a meal and drink before heading up to my room. i found the refurbished bathrooms clean. There was plenty of hot water.
the pillows were a little too soft for my liking.

lovely staffconvenient locationcomfortable room
I found the staff lovely, they helped me a lot. the location worked very well. It is just steps from the train station. my room was roomy, clean, comfortable, and also very quiet (i slept like a baby!).
The shower controls were very stiff. I could only get very cold or very hot water.

generally ok stay

good breakfastfriendly stafffaded decorpeeling wallpaper
the breakfast offered a good selection (i liked the full english). the staff were all very friendly and helpful .
the room decor seemed a bit faded in places, so the hotel needs some tlc. i also noticed some wallpaper peeling off in the bedroom, which wasn't ideal.
