Amazing hotel. We stayed in a deluxe family room and it was excellent. Good size room for our family to spread out in. 2 TVs was an added bonus. Staff were really helpful and catered for all our needs. Hotel is in a good location for exploring that part of London and with 2 tube stations a couple of minutes away if you want to go further afield. Definitely recommend it.

After a hiatus of some years (through no fault of Apex) we booked a recent offer on travelzoo and spent two wonderful nights here. The hotel is as smart, friendly, welcoming, comfortable, intimate and relaxing as it always has been. It's a hidden gem; off the beaten track and away from the chaos of London but so well connected by tube, rail and foot that it makes it an excellent place to stay in London. We won't leave it so long till the next time!

Lovely hotel but lacked amenities in the room. We had no tea or coffee making facilities and the room was quite small

Nice and clean rooms. Staff was very helpful. Since we got there early we were able to do the Checkin right away (although the rooms weren't available yet) and storage our luggage. After a day of exploring the city we quickly got our keys and luggage and went straight to our rooms.
