The hotel is located in a small side street, which we very difficult to find was (have about half an hour searched for) so definitely before, as one best to get up! The area was generally not recommendable, had to directly in front of the hotel a violent fight witness, and the later it was, the worse people to meet you... I would therefore me alone as a woman after 9-10 not trust. The traffic connections the city centre is nevertheless very good (about 20 minutes to Victoria).

The hotel lies of the location was very good. We were to Olympia in London and the value for money was excellent. Breakfast was even better than in the UK; the lady, when we checked in, was not the friendliness in person, but the other staff were really nice. You need to the train station around 10 minutes away on foot. To to the airport Gatwick is just about 20 minutes, to London Victoria also with the fast train only 10 minutes. The Travelcard is recommendable, but only from 09:30, then it costs instead of 15 pound only 8 pound - … read more

The hotel lies a bit out of the way with the overground is one in 25 minutes in the center. Shopping center / street directly around the corner. Parking only in the public parking garage 200 meters linear distance = 10 GBP per day. For London book. As it is quite a way out in the South is the transportation of the ferry short and quickly. To Kingston upon Thames -very nice suburb-it is just a stone's throw. Safes at the front desk only very limited available. Please note: the Bettmatrazze was so soft, like a not completely filled Luftmatrazze. … read more
