“What this hotel lacks in modern polish, it compensates for with its prime location near Holborn station, making it a practical base for exploring central London. I found that the friendly staff and the surprisingly quiet rooms offer a comfortable respite, especially given the budget-friendly price point. If you value location and affordability over flawless aesthetics, this could be a worthwhile option.”
