Great location
Overall, a good place for a short stay in London, especially as it's so easy to get the Piccadilly line to Heathrow airport. The hotel was quiet and the room very clean. Only negative was how slow the check-in was.

Overall ok
Great location. No air con, just a small fan, so room was hot and stuffy at night even with the window open.
The location was really good but pricey for what we got.
