the location and air conditioning in the room. Staff friendly and helpful.

I requested a non-smoking room but was given a smoking room on arrival, residual smell of smoke in the room all of my stay. The room was so small and for £140 per night, not good value. Also the TV was on the blink on my second night.

The location was excellent for central London

Our room was quite noisy as it was next to an external generator & the housekeepers storeroom, but the location out weighed this. inconvenience

Attentive, friendly staff; excellent breakfast environment and food

Upgrade to Queen Victoria Room was probably not worth the additional money.
