 The description of the hotel reads that it has modern decor and up to date fixtures It may be up to date relative to worn buildings in area but the rooms were dull and lifeless Cleanliness was ok lounge area good to ok Our room faced the street and it was noisy The breakfast was awful and the breakfast room drab The desk was not that helpful in answering touring questions Will not stay there again
 The location was good Around the corner there are several nice places a couple of bakeries pizza and good restaurant Easy to access Tube and sightseeing buses
