Das Hotel selbst bietet genügend an, die Lage ist zentral. Der Straßen und Tram Verkehr wird über Nacht etwas geringer (mit Ohropax, ist alles gut), Klimaanlage ist auch vorhanden.
Gerti, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not as tranquil as advertised but nice & welcoming

The room was more basic than usual with laminate floors throughout but clean with good shower facilities no TV but plenty of tea and coffee in the room Nice grounds and comfortable facilities in common areas but not as relaxing as hoped as noisy clatter of trolleys in the morning
MARK, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love staying here and would pick it every time I visit London. The rooms and decoration requires some freshen up but apart from this the facilities are peaceful, and pleasant and a haven in the midst of London.

10/10 Exceptional

Interesting historical place to stay, and very good value for money for London! The bed was comfortable and I slept very well, also thanks to the quiet atmosphere. The free breakfast was tasty, with different options available. The DLR station was nearby, with national trains as well. Would stay here again!
