The room was comfortable and a good size. There is no hotel staff available to interact with on site and the elevator doesn’t run between 11pm and 7 am. With a room on the fifth floor that can be an issue. Although the neighborhood is quiet it is also remote from most tourists attractions. The restaurant below the hotel was outstanding.

Very walkable area with the Dao being the best hotel in the Shepherd Bush community. Great shopping with the Westfield Mall being only a 5 minute walk. We were moved to another room because the first room AC went out. Hotel staff promptly moved us to a comfy room with great AC.
