My mother and I just finished a seven day stay in this charming hotel. I was extremely sad to…read moreleave, and not just because I will miss the wonderful English breakfast in the morning! The hotel staff could not have been more kind and welcoming during our stay and helpful as we planned excursions inside and outside the city.
We stayed in the Kensington room on the 3rd floor, a cute twin bed room that was perfect for a mother/daughter trip. The hotel is handicap accessible with an elevator so it made it very easy on my mum and her bad knees! The bathroom was extremely spacious with a tub/shower combo and a skylight! Every day, the staff leaves a fresh supply of expresso, tea, coffee, water, etc in your room - all on the house!
As others have mentioned, there is a delightful English breakfast available every morning from 7:30-9:30 am. We are early risers so this was a perfect way to kick off our day! You have an assortment of yogurt, granola, fruit, cereal, eggs, sausages, bacon, toast, baguettes, croissants, etc. as well as fresh coffee, tea, apple juice, orange juice and OJ.
The lovely couple who owns our hotel helped us plan a great trip with the Evan Evans tour company and gave us recommendations on what to do in the city. The other desk staff and restaurant staff are great as well!
One of the best things about this hotel though is the location. We were able to take the tube, walk or an Uber to every single part of the city. In other words, being so centrally located allowed us to travel quickly and inexpensively!
If you stay here, I'd recommend checking out the following local restaurants as well: Cambridge Street Kitchen, Kazan, Paradise Indian Restaurant, O Sole Mio and Sri Suwoon. Variety of international cuisines and you can read my Yelp reviews about them as well!
