"Great Location"  by G from Bristol

This is a great place to stay. It's on a lovely quiet street just off Oxford Street, which makes it a great location for all of you that love to shop. It is also close to Covent Garden and lot's of great theatres. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Great bathroom too! The breakfasts in the morning we're fantastic and offered a wide range of foods. 24hr reception so always someone there if need be. Come and go as you please! We are going to make the London trip a yearly thing and will be staying at the Staunton again!

"Comfortable and quiet"  by M from Boston

The room itself was wonderful, with a large, comfortable bed and small fridge. The bathroom in my room only had a shower, though, and smelled moldy, though it was clean. The breakfast was great - a nice selection of cereals, fruit and yogurt, and you could also order a full English breakfast. The main downside during my stay was that the wireless internet was spotty, and the phone lines were quite staticky. But I was delighted with the overall experience, and the staff was very nice.
