Single room was small - no desk and minimal hanging space, but clean and comfortable to sleep in.
Breakfast is officially from 07:30 but was open earlier which was good.

We were incredibly happy with our stay. A short tube ride in to the city and certainly had all we needed. Nice and quiet. Staff were amazing and incredibly welcoming. Supermarket just down the street. Snacks on hand and the most beautiful welcome on arrival. Luggage storage was also much appreciated.
