Best place to stay in London
Stayed in a family room with twin beds in one room and a rather big queen in the other. This is incredible value for money. You get a kitchen are close to the metro and many many restaurants- the inhouse Proper Slice became a favorite witg the kids.

London stay
Check in was easy and welcoming. A lovely quirky hotel where we felt relaxed and comfortable. The bedroom was fine and comfy
The only thing I would change is to move the bed away from the wall as it was difficult to access down one side
