Hotel was extremely comfortable, great beds, excellent room. The staff went above and beyond with extra accommodations for us when my daughter became ill, helping us organise breakfast in our room and late check out at short notice. Natural History Museum is vey close by and definitely worth a visit, make sure to book in advance to avoid the queue! Plenty of amenities and dining options nearby, great transport options and a beautiful area to explore! Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back for a return visit!
