8/10 Very good

The room was fine although it had not been cleaned properly as there were cornflakes on the floor of the lobby. We were pleased to have no TV as it is often a distraction. Very good buffet breakfast. Might need a better toaster! It does get noisy in the dining room if there is crowd together

I love staying here and would pick it every time I visit London. The rooms and decoration requires some freshen up but apart from this the facilities are peaceful, and pleasant and a haven in the midst of London.
