Excellent hôtel with great staff in good location. Very clean and well taken care of. Close to the best museums and Knightsbridge shopping
From entering the hotel to leaving, everything was perfect. All the staff members were very helpful and polite, the room was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Overall it was a lovely stay and the location was close to many shops, with the tube station just over the road.
I really liked the hotel. It was clean, modern, and had friendly staff, and was very close to a tube station with direct access to the center of London. Staying on this side of town is way easier, getting in and out of London, and there is easy access to the center.
