Excellent Central Stay!

perfect location helpful staff clean bathroom clean sheets
The location proved PERFECT! Attractions were nearby. I enjoyed the short walk to the British Museum. The staff were helpful. They provided quick responses to my questions. The shared bathroom was impeccably clean. The sheets were clean and fresh.
The room was a LITTLE small, and the water pressure in the sink was quite low. IT could have been better, but it was manageable.
