Staff is amazing. I've stayed in many hotels in London and they are the best. It offers great value for the money it's located in the heart of Belgravia. You won't find any other such smart deal in the area. It has everyhing you need. There is nothing I didn't like really and I've stayed there several time.

The Location was excellent - a very safe area and beautiful buildings all around. The staff were friendly. The service at breakfast was excellent. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and the service was fantastic. The hotel had a relaxed feel. The beds were very comfortable and the heating in the room was just righgt Nothing. It was all good.There is no bar but if travellers want a bar they should stay elsewhere or visit some of the excellent wine bars only 10 minutes walk away on Elizabeth Street.

An extremely well-located hotel with friendly staff. It has rooms spacious for London standards and offers very warm service. The staff is very friendly and the place is spotlessly clean. Breakfast room is spacious enough, food is fresh and service at breakfast excellent.

It is in Belgravia and near Knightsbridge but charges Kings Cross prices - which means high rather than outrageous. The grand design of the reception area contrasts with the below stairs feel elsewhere. The latest re-jig was a paint over rather than a revival but I have stayed in worse. Good enough breakfast too. Eco-lighting in the rooms makes them feel a bit depressing.

It was the cheapest hotel I could find at short notice. No staff on check out at 6.15 am so was not able to collect pre-arranged breakfast.
