Excellent location for adventuring through London, very close to the Marble Arch, Hyde Park, etc. Breakfast Attendant was very friendly and helpful. She remembered what we liked every morning and brought it right over to us.
The most delicious toast from the cafe.  The Server called it "Brown Toast", but it was more like Multigrain, so yummy with Tea.

We always choose to stay at the Sumner Hotel whenever we visit London because of its excellent location, which provides easy access to all the attractions and amenities of central London. The surrounding neighbourhood is vibrant and lively, with a fantastic selection of bars, cafés, and restaurants right on the doorstep. The staff are always friendly, professional, and helpful. The only area that could be improved is the accommodation itself. While the rooms are comfortable, they feel somewhat dated and would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation. Despite this, the hotel’s outstanding location and excellent service ensure that it remains our preferred choice whenever we stay in London.
