“For a budget stay, the location near the tube and Imperial War Museum is hard to beat. I think the staff's helpfulness and the 24/7 reception is a plus, especially if you need to store luggage. Though it might get warm, and space could be tight, the value for money in such an amazing area stands out in my opinion.”
