I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located near major attractions in London. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms really stood out, and I loved the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. However, the dining experience could use improvement, particularly the variety offered at breakfast. Though I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, the size of the rooms made it a bit challenging to organize my things comfortably.
