I really enjoyed my stay at the Edward hotel. The staff was really helpful when we needed help when it came to the AC not working well in the room they provided us with a fan. Our room was always clean. The beds are comfortable. It was a really good location. If you’re looking for a cheaper, but good quality stay in London for a few days. I would recommend this hotel.
