Lovely hotel in great location
Fantastic staff, beautiful hotel in great location. Close to restaurants, museums and Tube station.Bathroom very nice but quite tight. High step into bathtub/shower and no outlet for hairdryer curling iron, etc. were only drawbacks. Towels were fluffy. High end toiletries. Bed was very comfy. Room was small but well laid out for storage and comfort. Would highly recommend.
