Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a large attached bathroom featuring a bath and shower, which was great. However, the view from the room was not as impressive as expected. The service was accommodating in allowing us to check in later due to our late arrival. The location, though convenient between two Northern Line tube stations, was facing a busy avenue in front of a petrol station. The dining experience was fantastic with a delicious Manchego ratatouille. Overall, a decent stay with some pros and cons.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was excellent for getting around, and the rooms were cozy and clean. The service was top-notch, but the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, a great value for the price.
The hotel is located between two northern line tube stations that run 24 hours over the weekend, in a nice area. The rooms are cozy with both a bath and shower, and the staff made special arrangements for a late check-in. However, the dining is not included, and the avenue in front of the hotel can be busy at times.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very spacious. The staff was extremely friendly and even made special arrangements for us to check in later when we arrived after reception hours. The location was superb, situated between Clapham South & Balham stations, making it convenient and great value. On the downside, the dining options were not included, but the hotel offered fresh cream cakes as a treat.
The hotel offered spacious rooms with tea and coffee facilities, including a bath and shower which was a nice touch. The huge private bathroom attached to the room was a great convenience. However, the pricing was a bit on the higher side considering the overall experience.
The hotel is ideally situated in a bustling avenue between Clapham South & Balham stations, offering easy access to all of London via the tube. The rooms are spacious with a huge private bathroom, complete with a bath and shower, and all the necessary facilities are provided. The service excels in making arrangements for late check-ins after reception hours. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money in a prime location.
