I got a hot and great breakfast with sausage and surprisingly croissants, as for instance. The most important was the staff - extraordinarily friendly and excellent people. The hotel was lovely welcoming and in a very central location right by in a peaceful street while being very close to main streets, main railway stations and also the West End ' theatre land ', and London on vacation or for work. Besides, St James's Park was 2 km away from the property.
