“Frances St House strikes me as a practical choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize a functional base over luxurious amenities. Its location near Woolwich stations and Custom House simplifies getting around London, while the self-check-in and hands-off service model offer a degree of independence. For a straightforward stay in a bustling area, it seems to offer a reasonable option, assuming potential pricing discrepancies are clarified beforehand.”
