Clean, and centrally located for our trip. Walking to St. Paul’s or to the Tower was easy and comfortable for a 70 plus aged couple. The hotels pub for drinking and dining options were very good , along with the choice of the breakfast buffet or a menu order.

Excellent staff, great location and a good breakfast. The room wasn’t properly sorted - quite a bit of sugar on the wooden floor needed a vac - towels, cup missing. But overall it was a quiet enjoyable stay and worth the price.

A hidden gem in the heart of the City. Helpful staff, clean rooms, and an excellent breakfast to start the day. The free drink each at the bar was an added bonus. The only negative was that there was no mirror in the room within reach of plug-in hair straighteners. Otherwise a perfect stay!

Very clean, comfortable room with complimentary drinks. The front desk and pub staff were helpful and friendly, very accommodating. The breakfast was very good (I didn’t try the other food or alcohol as I don’t drink). Great location, walking distance to many sights, the Thames, and the underground tube. I highly recommend this hotel!
