One of those places that were booming approximately in the '80s, but did not see major renovation since then - and it shows. Absolutely terrible price/value ratio - but that seems to go for all greater London area, so if you're looking for value for money go somewhere where you do not have to pay in Pounds. But if you...

This is the second time that I have stayed at this hotel. Last stayed there for one night in December 2011. Staff very attentive, room was good and the Breakfast was very nice. More
