amazing breakfastconvenient locationgreat wardrobe
The breakfast choices were amazing (especially the full cooked English option!). The hotel's location proved convenient with proximity to the tube station. I found great wardrobe space in the room. It was quite useful. I discovered a Michelin-star Italian restaurant, Luca on John Street, near the hotel. It was really good.
The check-in process seemed slow because a single staff member handled new arrivals, phone calls, and luggage retrieval.
