“The proximity to Hyde Park and multiple Tube stations makes this a highly convenient base for exploring London. Staff consistently impress with their friendliness and helpfulness, readily storing luggage or offering advice. While rooms may be compact, they are kept clean and tidy, and the option to decline housekeeping for a credit is a thoughtful perk.”
