.i forgot to prebook the breakfasts when doing the reservation. Kept getting different prices..seemed to depend on whom you were speaking with. Somewhat frustrating, but didn't take anything away from a nice breakfast buffet. No fan in bathroom and a window that didn't open made for a lit of steam.

Abbiamo soggiornato qui per un weekend in famiglia. Ottima sistemazione, vicina a due stazioni della metro. Forse solo un po’ basica (ma buona!!) la colazione. Per il resto tutto perfetto. Soggiornavamo in una junior suite, molto spaziosa. Torneremmo volentieri.

Rooms are a little smaller than the pictures. The shower is not well designed and leaks all over the bathroom. However, the staff is very good and the location is perfect for a Central London vacation.
