Tripadvisor Reviews

RECENT REVIEW

“Very clean well maintained chic hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Free tea, coffee and soft drinks all day. Bed really comfy. Great location near to the financial district, and numerous restaurants, bars and pubs. It’s been in operation for about 4 years but throughout looks brand new. Really difficult to find fault with this place. Aldgate tube 5 minutes walk, but lots to do and see on foot.”
