Good value/convenience in London!
Good location: easy tube access just a few short blocks away; restaurants also nearby; quiet street. Rooms sufficient size, air conditioned, adequate bathroom, clean sheets and towels, even refrigerator in room! Beds pretty comfortable, too. Continental breakfast (included in price of room) was basic, but fine. Staff was friendly. We had an issue the first night (had three triple beds, rather than one double and one single, as requested), but staff rectified that for the second night.

Have already reccommended to friends and family
The location was excellent. Very quiet neighborhood, not far from shops, restaurants and Underground. Was there in summer: Air conditioning worked great and even a fan in the room for those of us with "Hot Flashes". Lift was in good order and no trouble getting into breakfast in the morning. Front desk was always courteous and helpful, with prompt responses. Beds were comfortable and hot water was plentiful. What more could you ask?
Family size room was adequate to our needs(two adults & two teenagers)tho a little crowded with all our luggage. We made an effort to sign up for the first sitting at breakfast and be there on time because it fills up quickly.

Good experience
Stayed in a room for three (myself, wife, and teen daughter). The room was what I expected for the price but had trouble with the hairdryer, but the staff brought a new one into the room the next day and it worked perfect. Continental breakfast was sufficient. Hotel is tucked away in a quiet side of the street. If you have been to London before looking for an adequate hotel for a bed and breakfast, this one is sufficient. If you have not been to London, prepare for small elevators, smaller than normal American rooms and bathrooms. Just enjoy the experience.
Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks
Buy and use the Oyster card and use the buses and tube (underground). Lancaster Gate station (central line) is two to three blocks away (about a quarter of a mile away) and is very efficient. Also, take your ATM card and use it at the banks to get cash if needed. The charge on my card was $2.00 per transaction and the exchange rate is better than travelers checks and bank rates. You cannot beat the convenience either.
