I found the parking on the hotel convenient. It eased my mind. duncan gave fantastic advice regarding the local area. I always knew where to go. the cooked breakfast each morning was excellent, and it started my day well. the location was superb. It was a short walk to the o2 academy.
the bathroom lacked a few basic toiletries, though it wasn't a major issue.

warm welcome comfortable bed cooked breakfast low ceiling no toiletries basic things
Duncan extended a warm welcome when I arrived. My room felt wonderfully clean with a very comfortable bed indeed. The cooked breakfast was really good. I loved it.
The ceilings felt low in the room, and I bumped myself a few times. There are no toiletries provided, and I missed very basic things in the bathroom. I had to bend to get in the room.
