I knew this hotel from living next door in college. We decided to stay there since I was familiar with the area. It is right behind the Gloucester road tube station so you have immediate access to public transportation and can be anywhere in minutes. The hotel is small, clean, quiet and very accommodating. When My husband and I checked... more

In short, only go to this hotel if you like being made out to be a con artist and if you love being ripped off.
