Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a very central location, extremely close to Buckingham Palace, making it so convenient for exploring the iconic sites of London. The rooms, though comfortable and well-decorated, were unfortunately very small and badly laid out, lacking storage space and with issues like a pulsing light from the wardrobe all night. The service was top-notch, with a welcoming and professional staff who spared no effort to make my stay enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was quite interesting. The rooms were taken care of twice a day, but they barely had a tiny window and looked very different. It took me a bit of time to figure out the lights, and there were strange cubbies behind creepy photos that made me uncomfortable. I confessed, I ended up sticking something over it in the end to sleep better.
