Guests can enjoy FREE Internet and WiFi access in the lobby, relax in the lounge or have a drink with friends in our bar. A FREE continental breakfast, served in the dining room, is included in the price.

Our large and beautiful lounge is a great place to meet new friends .Our bar is a great place to hang out with cheap drinks every night of the week!! Both lounge and bar are equipped with large flat screen TVs.

If your going out then take the tube from either Swiss Cottage or Finchley Road tube stations and in a few minutes you can be in the heart of the City.
