Beautiful 4-star hotel. Room was spacious and well equipped. Separate large shower cubicle. Very comfortable bed. Could not ask for a more central location. I have stayed here before and will stay again even though it is not cheap!

We stayed here for one night as part of a birthday weekend trip into London for my husband and overall we enjoyed it thoroughly. Despite thoughts of taking the train to London, we decided to drive in to the city centre and on Saturday morning the traffic was pretty good, and it was nice to take the car into town... More

Very nice hotel in the center of London :) excellent location if you want to stay in the heart of London. Friendly staff, nice rooms.
