The hotel's rooms were clean and comfortable with ample tea service, but in need of updates and better cleanliness under the beds. Unfortunately, the recent visit was marred by a broken shower and a TV stuck with subtitles, which was quite annoying. The view from the room was dark and overlooked the swimming pool.

The location was good with easy access to the city by bus, as the stop was just outside the hotel, and the Tube station was only 12 minutes away down the same road. Although a bit run-down, the hotel was ideal for transport links to central London and Wembley, which was convenient for traveling.

The hotel had spacious rooms, but I found the swimming pool area too noisy for my liking and noticed plumbing issues with drainage. The service was friendly and helpful, although not all staff members were consistently accommodating. The location was convenient near transportation options, but the surrounding area lacked facilities. Dining offered good food but was a bit stingy on portions. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives to consider.

I had a great view from my room, but unfortunately, it was not soundproof and the temperature could have been more comfortable. Despite these drawbacks, I would still recommend this hotel for its convenient location near Wembley and the train station, making it ideal for visiting friends in this part of London. However, the surroundings are quite noisy with hot food takeaways. The room had some issues with the water temperature and exposed wires in the bathroom, which were concerning.

The hotel's location is a bit troublesome, being busy day and night, but it's central to London and is in north London. It's a bit quiet at night but may feel a bit dangerous after midnight. The service encountered some problems, with staff often rushing due to a lack of backup at reception. The dining area is open until 11 on Sundays and offers Indian dishes, but there are some maintenance issues. The rooms on the bottom floor lacked WiFi, air circulation, and had poor lighting, but the staff kindly intervened to find a better room. The lobby allows guests to sit around in the evenings.

The hotel is situated in a busy area with a mixture of Arabic stores and convenient bus stop access, making it good for exploring London. The rooms, though a bit tired compared to other floors, offer a comfortable stay with no major complaints. The service, while friendly and helpful, could benefit from more staff during peak times. The dining experience extends till late, but some food items dry out quickly. Overall, the hotel provides a decent value for the money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized for this price point in London, but the constant humming of the motor from the pool beside the basement room was a significant downside. The staff, despite their friendliness, faced issues like refusing my credit card, which was frustrating. On the bright side, the location was excellent for accessing central London, with convenient access to public transport and local amenities.

The hotel had spacious rooms at a reasonable price, but unfortunately, the lack of insulation made it uncomfortable due to cold temperatures all night.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms weren't as clean as expected but were comfy and the staff was lovely. However, only having two guests per room over a four-day stay was a plus. The service was top-notch, especially from Dennis or Daniel, who was really nice and efficient. The location was convenient for exploring central London and Warner Bros Studios, but it didn't look great from the outside. The dining experience was average, with lukewarm food at times, and the value for money didn't quite hit the mark. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is located in a convenient spot for exploring the city, with options for public transport nearby. The rooms are in need of refurbishment and may not offer the best sleep quality due to temperature issues. The dining experience is mixed, with classic dishes exceeding expectations but breakfast leaving something to be desired. Service can be slow during check-in and check-out, and the area around the hotel is not the most upscale, but can serve as a suitable base for city explorations.
