Loved everything about this hotel. Great staff. Rooms are lovely. Would still like them to be cleaner. But spacious and good for work. Used the bar area to work too. Had room service when I was too tired to go get food. My asks were also accommodate. Will definitely stay there again.

Honestly what a find in London. Lovely staff, hotel, room with all the amenities you need (including cotton pads & buds!) and a reasonably priced minibar! Just excellent! We also paid for breakfast which was similarly great - reasonable price for all you could eat buffet with a wide selection and attentive service. Close to 2 tubes, museums and a variety of places to eat. Will definitely be back.
