Wonderful. I will be back!
Finally! I have found a London hotel that I will return to. Well positioned near public transport, plenty of taxis around and close to many of the places I need to be. Immaculately clean and wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Unusually spacious room for a mid-range London venue. Outstanding buffet breakfast.

No Hot Water
We stayed 3 nights and there was never any hot water to shower in the mornings. The only time there was any hot water was in the middle of the night. When we complained the engineer informed us that the boilers were inadequate for the number of rooms.

When we arrived the woman on reception came over as very cool and not very welcoming. This is the only criticism we have of our stay. We have stayed here several times in the past and have always been very pleased with the food and the service. When we checked out Hamib LL70ZKY was very pleasant and checked with us if everything was satisfactory and we will definitely stay
