Pros:
1. Location: very close to bus station (5-6 min walk to take bus 15 to go to all major tourists attractions like Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Big Ben, etc) or Tower Hill subway (3 min walk). Tower hill subway has wheelchair accessible too. It’s also about 10-15 min walk to Tower bridge or about 15 min to Tower of London from different direction. There’s co-op, mini market, 2 min walk from the hotel too for quick snacks, ice cream or water if needed. Lots of restaurants within walking distance (5-10min).
2. Amenities: the room is cleaned daily and they refill the amenities accordingly. We got free bottles water, cookies, coffee and teas inside the room daily, which we truly appreciate it. It has small kitchen appliances and we’re able to cook instant noodles there. It has refrigerator, washer/dryer combo, hair dryer, iron and iron board, which are all listed in the listing and the main reasons I chose this place. The AC works well too. Forgot to mention, it has safety box to keep valuables inside.
3. Room: to our surprise, the room is spacious for 4 of us. There’s a chair to sit, table to put our stuffs, 2 big drawers, vanity table inside the main room, and couple trash cans around the room. The main bedroom: the mattress bed is firm (which I personally like). The couch bed is pretty soft, so to me, that’s not so comfy.
4. Bathroom: it’s pretty big comparing to other Europe hotels. It has some space to put our clothes, and doesn’t feel cramped.
5. The hotel has lift. I specifically mention this as we travel with wheelchair, so to have wheelchair accessible lift is very important for us.
Cons:
1. Nothing major, but I sent the hotel a message before requesting the tower view as we’re celebrating my husband and my son’s birthday on this trips if possible. The hotel didn’t replied yes/no. At the end, we got a pretty ugly valley view. Lol.
2. The location is pretty confusing for taxi driver as both times, from and to airport, they got lost. If taking Uber/taxi, it’s about £85-115 as it’s pretty far from LHR airport, depending the time of the day.
Overall, 5/5. We’re very pleased with this hotel and will definitely come back here if we’re visiting London again. A total gem and well worth the money spent here.
