Great overnight stay
We came to London to see a couple of shows and stayed just one night. For London the price was low so we were really surprised at the quality and the standard of service. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room was great and all the staff were so polite and helpful. We were able to leave our bags on both days very easily which was a great help. We had a drink in the bar and coffee and pastry in the coffee shop - both were good. We will certainly stay here again!
