We had a excellent night's stay in this hotel. Clean, quiet, modern and comfortable and an excellent location just a couple of minutes walk from Victoria station. Our room on the 9th floor even had a pretty impressive view. Breakfast was very good with a huge choice - something for everyone. We would most definitely use this hotel again.
