came from NY TO watch the test match between India and England at the Kia Oval, only a 10-12 minute walk to from the hotel through quiet back streets. It was ideal for me. Apart from another property across the stadium this is the only property that is within a short walking distance to the stadium, so you don't have to mess around with trains which were packed with spectators to the venue. Since I was alone the hotel was perfect. I took an executive room which was on the smallish side but it was reasonable priced at 179 quid and it had everything that I wanted. It was quiet, clean, had a safe, bottles of water, kettle coffee etc. Also had cable, wifi etc. The mattress was very comfortable and I slept really well for the three nights that I stayed. The area too is very safe. some evenings I walked to vauxhall station about 12-15 minutes away to catch the train to see friends andother times I took an uber and came back pretty late. at no point did I feel unsafe. There are several Portuguese restaurants within a few minutes of walking, one of which I dined in and the food was delicious. There is a pub called canton arms, very popular and excellent, a little walk away. I had drinks there. also convenience store etc. The people in the front desk there 24 x7, who were super helpful. One manager Pavan advised me which trains to take from Heathrow to Vauxhall which cost only 7.5 quid as opposed to a taxi which would have been around 70 quid. I would go back again for sure .
