"Really clean and modern. Great kitchen (but no oil, etc.) with a new dishwasher and clothes washer (both worked great). Two bathrooms and two bedrooms - fantastic! Conveniently located to all the sites and train/tube stations, but fairly quiet. The only downside to this room is the lack of a common area to sit around and commune with your party. The kitchen worked, but is really only big enough for about three people. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat"

"The staff was very helpful and friendly. When we got a couple of soft drinks from the bar and another guest accidentally knocked into me and spilled the drinks, the bar quickly replaced them at no charge. On our first night there we were very tired and ordered room service. They were very quick and the hamburger I ordered was the best I ever had. It tasted like it was home cooked. Checking in and out was a breeze. They also have room safes and we felt very safe while we were there. I can't wait until we can go back! Don't forget your universal outlet adapter if you're coming from the US."
