The Hotel is located in a great district and close to a lot of great restaurants and places of interest. The stop for the hop on hop off bus and other transportation is right out front. Our room was very nice comfortanle and cean. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great. Really good food and lots of selection. Our waitress/hostess named Hina was very attentive; kind and helpful to everyone. She remembered us every day and made sure we got our special order eggs. She was also quick to make sure the food trays and bread etc were well stocked. We have recommended this hotel to friends planning a trip to London.

Staff helpful and friendly rooms were comfortable with everything you needed. The hotel was spotless. Sadly breakfast was not so good, tea/coffee machine temperamental and latte was Luke warm, bacon was really saly and hard but staff was great in there!

Enjoyed stay. We would liked to have been in a bigger, if possible. room. We stayed for 9 days. Not enough storage. No storage in night tables and had to ask for 10 hangers. Maybe some hooks on walls.
