nice location

It was some busy event week in London and we paid a lot ($520/US a nighr) for the stay. The room was small but nice location. If this was much much cheaper then I will come back.

Nice place, too many extra charges

I spent a few days in London for work meetings and wanted to be somewhere centrally located and comfortable. The location is ideal - on both the District and Circle Tube lines, plus the Piccadilly Line which will take you to most major sights and the airport. The room was clean, spacious (especially for London), and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were a number of charges that were not disclosed in the hotel materials, including a 2 plus pound surcharge per minute for toll free calls and a 55 pence per minute charge for local calls. The internet cost 5 pounds for an hour, and the breakfast was about twenty dollars. This prevents me from rating the place more highly, particularly for business travel which requires internet and phone use. As well the published phone number was never answered (as my relatives found out when trying to reach me). All and all a nice place, but you can probably find something comparable that is "friendlier" on the comms side.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

Waitrose and Tesco Express grocery stores are nearby and the rooms have small fridges so you can buy water and even food there much more cheaply than at the hotel or in tourist kiosks. As well, take the train to the airport - you'll get there in less than 45 minutes and it's a straight shot for the equivalent of 8 dollars one way.
