A good, honest, fairly priced hotel.
Pros:
* Ability to book online

* Tea and coffee making facilities

* Free WiFi in communal areas
* Quiet location
* Short walk to Ealing Broadway, the mall, the common, and several lovely green spaces

* Good size room for a small double
* Clean bed linen and towels
* Plentiful plug sockets
* Shaver/​electric toothbrush socket in bathroom
* Hand wash and shower gel provided
* Plentiful storage
* Reading lamps
* Nice heavy curtains to ensure a good night’s sleep.
* Central heating to keep one cosy in the autumn/​winter.
* Alarm clock provided if needed.
* Splendid, enormous blankets for extra cosiness
*Real key for room! None of those plastic cards that always end up breaking!
* PETS allowed on request!!!
Cons:
* Creaky floorboards. I actually quite like them but if I were in the room below me, it would probably get on my nerves.
* Doors to other suites slam and reverberate into your room. Not too intolerable though.
* Thin walls with little sound insulation (not a problem unless you have some inconsiderate guests).
* The bathroom in my room was basic. Totally clean functional but I’m sure some people would moan about it not being perfect.
