Let’s get to the best part: breakfast. I’m not talking about a sad, wrapped croissant. I’m talking about a full English with all the trimmings. You can pile your plate with bacon, eggs, sausages, and beans until your inner child does a happy dance. There’s also fruit, yogurt, and toast for those who pretend to be healthy.
I once saw a dad at the breakfast buffet give his toddler a sausage, and the kid did a little wiggle of joy. That’s the energy here. It’s family-friendly, unpretentious, and satisfying. You’ll leave the dining room feeling like you can conquer the Natural History Museum or just nap in the park.
The Staff: Your Cheerleaders
The people who work here are the secret sauce. They aren’t robotic; they’re warm and genuinely helpful. Need a bus route? They’ll draw you a map. Lost your umbrella? They’ll find you one from a forgotten collection. It feels like staying at a friend’s house where the friend is super organized and gives great local tips.

One evening, I asked the front desk where to get a decent curry. The guy didn’t just point—he walked me to the door and showed me the best spot, a tiny place around the corner. That’s the kind of human touch that makes a stay memorable. It’s not scripted; it’s just good hospitality.
