I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location is just perfect, allowing me to walk to all main attractions in Central London. The rooms were clean and cozy, although I had to upgrade to a Sherlock suite for a bit more comfort. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure all my needs were taken care of. The dining experience was top-notch, offering delicious meals. However, the lack of a view from my room was a downside.
