Lovely property, huge modern bathroom and generous breakfast. The location was excellent - 10 minutes to Victoria station, about 15 minutes walk to Buckingham Palace, about 20 minutes walk to Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and Westminster. The staff were very accomodating.

Outstanding experience!!
This hotel is delightful and is in a terrific location, only a half mile from Victoria Station with wonderful dining options nearby.
The “king” bed is really a queen, and the bathroom was very narrow. I was fine, but my larger traveling companions found it challenging.
Breakfast is absolutely amazing and the staff is exceptional. Be sure to stay here if you can!
