Great location beside Hyde Park, near lots of transport links. The rooms are quite dated but good if you like an authentic retro look.

Excellent location and I’m sure this hotel was very elegant at some point in time. However, the rooms are very dated and far from modern. They kind of smell old as well. The worst part is the noise, you hear EVERYTHING that happens in the room next door, in the hallway, above you and over you.
