“Nestled in a historic terrace in London, the hotel strikes a chord with its prime location, perfect for those eager to explore the city's attractions. The staff's friendly and personalized service stood out, alongside clean, comfortable rooms, though not overly luxurious. What's appreciable is its garden-facing rooms, a serene touch in the city's bustle, and self-service continental breakfast-conveniences that make it a practical choice.”
