The hotel is conveniently located near the underground and just around the corner from the British museum. The rooms were satisfactory with three single beds, a shower, and a partially opened window. Though it is in the city center, the standard is relatively low. The service was decent, offering laundry and tours/ticket assistance. Dining options included packed lunches. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel provides value for money considering its location.
