Chic and Central Stay
central location stylish vibe helpful staff electronic features
The location was perfect! A tube station is just blocks away. The hotel provides a very central access point. The hotel presents a modern, stylish, mid-century vibe. The staff members were friendly and quite helpful. They promptly delivered our items. The room had several electronic features, including adjustable lights and a warming bathroom floor.
The room was comfortable. Though I felt it was slightly small relative to its cost.
