Very clean public areas and rooms/bathrooms although our en-suite bathroom definitely needed updating. Very tatty woodwork and tiling. Beds and pillows were quite hard but spotlessly clean and a/c very welcome during the recent heatwave. Staff pleasant and helpful. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Handy for tube station and situated in a quiet road. Would stay again.
