Great hotel - we will be back!
We loved this hotel! It was in a great location with good food, bars and a big tube stop (Victoria) nearby. It's also a stones throw from Buckingham Palace which was great. The bed was comfy, the water pressure was great and the AC worked amazingly - which as Americas is super important to us. What else can you ask for?! The service was also top notch.

Great hotel at excellent location with authentic atmosphere and kind staff. Check-in explanations not detailed, no suggestions of expedia benefits for members or room upgrades. The rooms are clean and smallish and room service could be improved providing with water, changing towels, bathrobes etc..on a daily basis not requiring asking for it, taking into account the price ! . Doormen all very helpfull assisting with the destinations of guests and cab/uber arrangements. Excellent location within multiple public transport options.
