  Super friendly and professional receptionists. The food (room service) from the restaurant was brilliant. Great accessibility to public transportations with very short commute to bus stations with routes to Stratford. The room was bright and clean.

• Caroline from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Our room was on the top floor and had windows on two sides — and you could even open the windows — so much less claustrophobic than most London hotels. Plenty of space; comfy bed.
