8.6/10 Excellent! (748 reviews)

Excellent proximity to Victoria station ( walk for a few min) for easy transport, whether it be Tube or bus. Easy to get taxis or Uber from there. The hotel’s decor is new, very modern and is bright and airy. Hotel room is comfortable overall. Its inclusion of breakfast is excellent with plenty of food items to choose from Staff was polite snd helpful. Room’s bathroom amenities is bare minimum. To me its adequate, but the white towels were very rough . There isnt power outlet on both sides of the bed so we couldnt both use a CPAP machine at the same time. It is a good choice.

Walk to Hyde Park and close to bus staions and underground. Breakfast was amazing. Friendly staff. It was a bit hard to get in and out of the bathtub so if that is going to be an issue ask for a room with shower
