Great location. Walking distance to the London eye; we were able to start our hop on hop off tour there. Surprisingly the trains weren’t a big issue and we did use the ear plugs they provided. No A/C which made sleep less comfortable tho a fan was provided. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Mattress are very firm, too firm for us but was ok for the few days we stayed there. Be prepared for a lot of stairs! Great value for London
