Clean, comfortable hotel with friendly staff and great service. Location is unbeatable—walking distance to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the Thames. Tube station just a minute away. Loved the traditional pub downstairs where breakfast is served.

A perfect location for both business and leisure

Attended a two-day conference within a few minutes walking distance. A perfect location for that, and if we would have been vacationers, also for that. A minute’s walk to a tube station. The room on the third floor was comfortable and quiet. The only thing I missed was furniture for the luggage.
