    Breakfast was very good, staff was helpful. Location is good since it's in Mayfair.

    The staff was really friendly, the receptionist was there 24/7 and she was ready to answer any questions. The location is also really good - about 15min walk to Hyde park and 45min walk to the center (Oxford street). You have plenty of bakeries,...

    Good value for money. The room was clean, and it has what you need for a short stay in London. Excellent and quiet location in South Kensington three blocks from South Kensington's underground station
