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.

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.
