The hotel is a nice place with great amenities and good for a beer. The service was exceptional, and the location is fantastic being close to a pub where guests get a 10% discount. However, the dining options, while included, were a bit typical local bread. Overall, a good value for money choice.

7.8/10

The hotel is located conveniently near the underground station, on top of a very nice pub. The rooms offer great amenities for a nice beer, but the service could use some improvement. The pub below is a nice feature, and the proximity to the tube is a plus. However, it's a bit pricey for what you get.
