Outside was definitely older than the pristine white portrayed in the picture. If you need to be in the area this is a good location. Breakfast ( £10 Continental was good) Corridors a bit creeky (which you notice in your room)

If you're in the area for visiting or business, this place is perfect. Nice room with everything you need. If you wish to visit London, no. No shops or places to see except close to the train back to the airport. Everything else is at least a half hour away.

A very functional hotel at a good price, its was all you coukd expect. The bed was comfy, room was spacious. Could all do with a bit of a facelift (and fixing the creaky floors).

The hotel was a beautiful building in a very nice walkable area. No air conditioning wasn’t great, but I knew that beforehand. The staff were very nice and helpful. My only complaint was the height of the bathtub and lack of washcloths, which maybe that’s an American thing because the front desk didn’t seem to understand what that was!

Very well run hotel. Very clean and everything is working as to be expected. Has an older elegant feel to it. It’s located next to Hyde Park, which I find to be an ideal place to be in London. The rooms are small, at least the one I had. The breakfast is somewhat limited. So so in what it offers. Front desk people are friendly, generous with their time and very helpful. I believe it to be good value for London.

The room was very big, which was good. I was surprised to find a large crack in one of the windows. When I reported it the staff said they were unaware and carried out an initial repair wih cellotape. Additionally, in order to use the televsion I had to unravel the lead and plug behind the televsion and connect the aerial lead.
