Spacious room, toiletries, bath robe, tea and coffee in the room with some biscuits. Minutes walking to main attractions, we even walked to SoHo, but that one was a longer walk. A very good bar next door. Not for a night life goers, pretty calm at night time. Love the hotel, would stay again and recommend.

Our room was clean, comfortable, and attractive. Mini fridge, coffee/tea, and snacks came in handy. Breakfast was fabulous! Wish I stayed long enough to try everything on the menu. All staff members were pleasant and helpful. The Westminster location was fantastic. We were able to walk to many attractions and the tube was next door for farther trips.

Perfect location and very friendly staff. The hotel does not have a lobby, so if you want to spend time outside your room, you’ll need to use the pub on the ground floor, where you can enjoy a drink or a meal. A very good breakfast is also served there. Our room was next to the elevator, which was quite noisy, especially early in the morning. I would not recommend accepting a room in that location. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. We stayed in July, and the price was quite high, likely due to both the excellent location and the peak tourist season.
