We were very happy with our stay at this hotel! Very clean, helpful staff, and comfortable beds. It is quiet and relatively away from the busy streets which means you have to walk about 10 minutes to get to the subway but it’s a gorgeous walk. We would stay here again and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

This is a very good hotel. It is located in a very safe area and is very close to Victoria station (15 min walk). The hotel bed is very comfortable and hygiene and the room overall were very good.
