The hotel is centrally located, just 200 meters from Victoria Coach Station, making it perfect for travelers utilizing the coach services. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, going out of their way to assist with issues like payment and room changes. While the room was a bit small and lacked storage space, the overall cleanliness and decorative order were commendable. The dining options were satisfactory but not exceptional, with Continental fare available for a reasonable price. The value for money was decent for a prime location in London.

My stay at the hotel was overall great. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Buckingham Palace and close to Victoria Station. The service was a bit mixed, with some very friendly and helpful staff, but lacking a bit in empathy. The rooms in the townhouse were cozy but had limited headroom due to sloping ceilings. The dining options were basic, but the continental breakfast provided a decent variety. There were no major issues with the facilities, and the lack of an elevator was manageable with just three flights of stairs.

The dining experience was mixed with decent value for 6 pounds but let down by some items being subpar. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
