Loved everything about this hotel! The location is just what I wanted, on the Thames in central London! Beautiful views, a park in the back and outstanding location! It was easy to walk or take the tube to places. The friendly staff assisted us with buying an Oyster card to use for public transportation. The room was very comfortable and we loved the macarons on arrival.
