Liked: Cleanliness
The Georgian/early Victorian style being retained gives the hotel a grand and comfortable feel. One can feel somewhat pampered in of the public areas especially. Breakfast is a delight, really can set oneself up for the day and at a reasonable price. Bathroom in family room was inadequate but I would stay again but want a different room.

The family room was spacious enough. The hotel staff were nice, offered storage of luggage. Very close to the train station with places to eat and drink. The area is one of our favorites in London. Recommending this place to others.
