The hotel is excellent, this is the second time I’m in this hotel. The only bad experience I had was the kitchen, two times (different days) I called them and they said I couldn’t have food, but the hotel says I can order food anytime, the only thing is I have less option, so at this time I was unhappy with this exclusive service.

Hotel is in a great central location and very close to tube station. Very friendly and helpful staff, great buffet breakfast. It's an old building so navigating with large luggage can be difficult. Rooms a bit small, but very clean with all amenities. I'll stay tere on future visits
