    Breakfast was great. Staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We were even allowed to check in earlier than stated to allow us time to get ready for the family wedding we were attending. Great location, 5min walk from the Barbican,...

    Breakfast was excellent. None of us expected it to be 10 out of 10. Certainly worth walking up the road to. The host and staff were very friendly.
