great locationheating systemavailable breakfastno elevatorneighborhood graffitiaggressive staff
The location was excellent. i was only a short walk from the metro station. the room included a heating system (which i definitely needed) and that worked just fine. breakfast was available. It made my mornings easier.
The stairs were a bit of a challenge. There was no elevator. graffiti covered the surrounding neighborhood, not very appealing. the day shift staff aggressively questioned me about my room and key when i returned one day.

Excellent Stay Near the Tube!

clean roomfresh linenhelpful staffeasy check-in
The check-in process was straightforward and very pleasant. Each staff member I interacted with was both friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated the front desk attendant carrying my luggage up the stairs. The room was notably clean, and the bed had fresh linens.
The train noise was a bit noticeable, but I managed with earplugs.
