8/10

A traditional hotel within walking distance of the main attractions. The hotel’s staff are excellent, so welcoming and helpful. It’s the staff that really make this hotel a good place to stay. Rooms can be rather small, even the superior rooms. Ours had frosted glass in the window as there was no outlook. But this is central London and even the top hotels often have no outlook from their windows. The rooms are clean and well equipped and offer all you need for your stay. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice of freshly prepared food.

10/10

Lovely weekend stay for my husband and me. Our room was small but given it is in central London, not surprising. It was well appointed including coffee and tea supplies and nice toiletries. Location is perfect - very close to Buckingham Palace but on a quieter street so the sidewalks weren't crazy busy and we didn't notice any noise. Service was top notch and we felt well cared for.
