The staff was fairly friendly and room was modern. The location of the hotel was stunning, clean near to the shopping centre. What's more, it was not far from Hampton Court Palace across the road, rooms named after Henry's wives, and the shops.

Booked apartment with a refrigerator, an electric kettle, and a microwave. The bed was exceptionally comfortable; and there was a bathtub. The location was stunning and brilliant, adjacent to night life, a beautiful park and the Hampton Court palace so plenty of walks to take and convenience store. Had lunch/dinner at Publik, which I found a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel.
