Fantastic

This was an excellent value for me as a solo traveler with only a limited amount of time in London. Being right in the middle of everything meant I was able to avoid having to waste any time commuting and start my day right in the thick of things. The hotel is old, and offers no lift, but as a backpacker this was no problem. The location felt extremely safe as the residence floors have a passcode lock to access, and staff was on hand 24/7. The staff also was very accommodating in that I had to upload a large file overnight, and they gladly kept my laptop behind the desk while the file transferred.
