The hotel is conveniently located near a train station, the breakfast is good although it could have more egg options. The staff was very friendly. If we come back to London we’d be staying here again

Lovely hotel, great location near Natural History Museum and Royal Albert Hall. Check-in was delayed but Janet at the reception desk was very helpful and offered alternative solutions while my room was being prepared. Would definitely stay again.

We were a family group of 9 travelling together. There was nothing that the staff wouldn’t do to
ensure everything ran smoothly from the moment we checked in.

Nice breakfast

The Georgian/early Victorian style being retained gives the hotel a grand and comfortable feel. One can feel somewhat pampered in of the public areas especially.
Breakfast is a delight, really can set oneself up for the day and at a reasonable price.
Bathroom in family room was inadequate but I would stay again but want a different room.

The family room was spacious enough. The hotel staff were nice, offered storage of luggage. Very close to the train station with places to eat and drink. The area is one of our favorites in London. Recommending this place to others.
