Great location
Overall, a good place for a short stay in London, especially as it's so easy to get the Piccadilly line to Heathrow airport. The hotel was quiet and the room very clean. Only negative was how slow the check-in was.

Great beds and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and were so glad to be staying here and not at the National Hotel attached as it was super busy there.
Great location and nice staff.

Lovely staff and room
Staff were very nice and helpful. The room was a decent size and very clean. Comfortable bed and pillows. The shower was great and toiletries nice. I wouldn’t stay again due to the traffic noise. I’m a light sleeper so it kept me awake. I couldn’t fault the hotel apart from that.
