5.6/10 (1,004 reviews)
Very few amount of electric sockets in the room especially with 1 of the broken. The room was clean on 1st appearance but top of cupboard covered in dust. Room interior is dated including carpet, little amount of storage room.
Front desk staff very pleasant and helpful especially on helping us to store our cases on checkout day so we could have a final day in the city without our luggage. Very close to the nearest underground station

Good food options and great hub of transportation for several bus lines and the underground. We have been to London 3 times in the past 4 years and have stayed in this area each time.

It's just a square, not a destination, but it's lovely.
