Wont go back-

Tired bathroom, no electrical sockets near mirror, poor hairdryer-old fashioned ones connected to the wall. Terrible view from the window facing the roof with a ledge, so couldn't open the window and feel safe. Room far too hot. Didn't (need to ) leave a credit card at reception and so porter followed me up to the room to remove and locked up a display of minibar that was left out on the table- whats that about?

Good enough

The room is very small, but good enough if you are going to use only for sleep. The Hotel is close to Buckingham, the parliament, and the subway station but nightlife is almost nonexistence.

Not impressed

Wouldn't stay here again as it wasn't as great as the price we paid. Only chose it for the location.
