Centrally located. Great if you’re nimble on your feet. 1 bus service at the stop right outside the property, 3 more at the end of the road along Albert Embankment (about 5 minutes walk). Nearest tube isn’t that close by, a bit of a walk (easily 15 minutes)… but you won’t feel it if the weather is gorgeous. No lifts so be wary if you have heavy luggage. Room was clean, furnishing and bathroom fixtures of good quality. I don’t mind the fact that there wasn’t any housekeeping. But I believe housekeeping on demand should not be chargeable. Essentials cabinet contain toiletries and coffee/tea/sugar, would have been nice to have a linen cabinet for towel swaps etc. The “no-key” access is brilliant. I didn’t feel the lack of a reception/concierge a problem as the hotel was very responsive over the app. I know this because there was a constant smell of smoke in the property, and it set off the smoke alarm one morning. Staff were sent within minutes of my contacting them, and the alarm was silenced. The smoke smells remained throughout my 8 night stay, so I hope they sort it out. Anyway, I think it’s great for short stays and if you’re travelling light, and if you plan to just use the place to sleep.
