A lovely boutique hotel in a great location that is steps from a tube/train stop. The staff goes out of their way to be helpful and the decor and amenities were perfect for our needs. I chose the smallest room that the hotel offers and it was a bit tight for accommodating a roll aboard suitcase and a soft side bag for one person. However, the room was as described so it was on me and not misrepresented by the hotel. All in all, a great experience.
