Always have a good stay here, staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, although there were a few small spiders and ants in the bedroom and bathroom. We didn't have breakfast included this time, we felt it was a little bit expensive, the breakfast is usually excellent .

A great facility! Staff was so accommodating - allowed us complimentary late checkout. Room was amazing, clean and spacious. The hotel room always smelt great! Fantastic location, close to Oxford street shopping but also minutes away from the tube & a bus stop right in front of the hotel. Will definitely return on my next trip to London!
