to get started.

Having the little balcony off the room was great, as was the coffee/tea pot. There was a little sofa in the room making it feel homey.

Shortstay, United States of America

Very clean, easy to find - ticked all boxes, staff very helpful and polite - excellent experience

Alan, United Kingdom

I highly recommend this hotel. It was very clean and the staff were awesome! It was in walking distance to the train into London in order to sightsee. Parking was available.

Paula, United States of America

Really lovely hotel, even nicer on the inside. Stayed here for my 40th birthday, along with my husband and our friends, Would use again if in the area.

Che11ey, United Kingdom

We have stayed here before. A well situated hotel with a car park, which was very important to us as we had travelled up by car. Really nice reception area, where you can have a drink or a coffee. The room was at the front of the hotel overlooking the busy main road. Actually, once you closed all the windows it was very quiet , so the road noise was not an issue. The room was compact but clean and nice with a lovely airy and light bathroom with both a bath and a shower over the bath, really nice to have both. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room and nice big towels. Like the fact it is in Wimbledon and within easy walking distance to the underground. Also close to a great variety of shops, and places to eat , and the Wimbledon Theatre is just up the road .

Annette, United Kingdom

Very clean cosy room. Bed comfortable. Breakfast was really good! Staff were amazing! Nothing not to like! Location fantastic.

Katrina, United Kingdom

I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you.

Chauncey, United Kingdom

Everything was clean and comfortable. The extra glazing to keep out road noise was very effective.

John, United Kingdom

Staff generally very helpful and efficient - though there seemed to be some confusion between reception and restaurant staff over breakfast! Mattress comfortable but pillows a little hard. Décor recently updated.

Philtilson, United Kingdom

I loved the balcony off the room. Being able to sit out there and gaze off into the distance was great, plus you could hear the birds. The bed was fairly comfortable, there was a little sitting area and they provided big towels. The hot water heater for coffee and tea was amazingly quick. A couple of the staff members were really helpful when asked.
