Excellent Stay!

I was charmed by the quiet location. I appreciated the easy access via the tube. Shepherds Bush station worked well for me. Breakfast was amazing. I was thrilled with the variety of plant-based options available. The shower was powerful and hot. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash had a pleasant smell.
My room could have used a bit of a spruce up, but it wasn't a big deal.

A lidl supermarket was close which allowed me to pick up essential groceries easily. the staff offered a very smooth and professional check in experience.
