convenient stay

quiet location tube station convenient pub cute coffee shop

The inn is in a quiet location. it's near a tube station. a pub operates downstairs. It's convenient for a nightcap. a cute coffee shop sits on the corner. it's perfect for a morning coffee.

The shower needed more attention regarding cleanliness. I thought this could improve with little effort.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

broken shower head loud noise

The shower head was broken, so I had to use the handheld shower head, inconvenient. The noise from adjacent flats made it difficult to sleep. I told the staff about the noise and someone was supposed to come to hear it but no one came, it was disappointing.
