Great visit
Pros:

Brilliant location, next to The Waterloo Music Bar. Spotlessly clean . Staff incredibly friendly, bar prices are good. Excellent range of food in the buffet, all cooked on the premises. Lots of momentos of Mr Dil's illustrious military career and his Nepalese heritage. A little gem .

Cons:

Hot water could be a bit erratic in the shower !

Pros:

Breakfast was lovely, room was clean and bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Room 120 could do with a curtain around the shower, as the shower is in the bedroom. Not a complaint just an observation.
