The beauty of this hotel is the location and the fact that all rooms have two double beds. The rooms are large so the hotel is good for a family or three people traveling together. The hotel is also expensive. The location is just a few steps away from the Gloucester Rd. tube station. There are a lot of pubs, restaurants, and small shops in the area.
The hotel rate doesn''t include breakfast, but there are lots of places in the area to get a croissant and coffee for £2-3. See my dining recomendations.
Also if you book thru the 800 number, ask for a corporate or special rate. They do offer lower room rates though the standard is £200 I have gotten lower rates. The airline rate is £100.
We stayed here because we took my father-in-law. He is a senior citizen and we needed a large room with a big bathroom and elevators.
Many of the hotels in London are walk ups with small bathrooms.
This is an ideal place for more than two people or a family. They also have suites that are two levels with a spiral staircase that will sleep six. I think the cost is about £200, but may be cheaper than getting two or three rooms somewhere else.
This hotel was spotless and the front desk helpful. They held our bags and we freshened up in the restrooms since we arrived at 7 or 8am and the room wasn''t ready.
