The hotel is tucked away in a quiet residential area, making it a peaceful retreat. The rooms boast incredibly comfortable beds; however, the housekeeping service could be more attentive. The location is excellent for exploring the Westbourne area, although dining options are limited. Despite the lackluster dining experience, the homemade pastries are a standout feature. Overall, a decent choice for those seeking a tranquil stay.

The hotel is situated in a quiet residential area and within walking distance of buses. The rooms offer a very comfortable bed, making for a restful stay, with a great value for money. The service provided was excellent, particularly the housekeeping. However, the dining options, mainly around salmon dishes, left room for improvement.
