big, beautiful room ands are comfortable perfect location which was close to anything and everything you need staff very, very nice and accommodating.

Lisa Canada

Great location. Quiet street. Walkable to great restaurants, museums, and parks.

Larry United States of America

I loved the breakfast in the airy, gracious dining room--a rose on every table. I recommend the full English breakfast--the best I've had. The beds were comfortable and the staff was helpful.

Lin United States of America

Location, quiet. They did move us from a minuscule, claustrophobic room to a larger one which was still “cozy.”

Maryann United States of America

We wanted to stay somewhere that felt more “English” than a chain hotel. The room was large for our family of 4…we got one of the rooms suited for a family. breakfast was included in our crate and lovely. Staff was so kind. Location close to metro station and just a few stops from Piccadilly which is where we spent a lot of time.

Mary United States of America

Very close to metro so easy to navigate around London and you can take train from airport.

Jean United States of America

The location and the room was lovely albeit very small. Very quiet at night...got a good night sleep.

Jane United Kingdom

Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially at breakfast. Talking of breakfast, the full English was excellent.

Adam United Kingdom

They featured rooms for families of 4 and location was good for proximity to museums, Hyde Park and the tube. Very nice sitting room with fireplace and bar, and a very nice breakfast room. On quiet street, but easy walking distance to commercial area.

Robert Singapore

Room 422. We did find used contact lens's on the floor; The bathroom fan did not work; the kettles on switch would not latch on and the last time it was PAT tested was (i think) 2017. The kettle should be scrapped and PAT testing carried out more frequently. Otherwise all ok!
