    2nd time we stayed here. We love the location. Ideal if you come with the eurostar and you arrive late or leave early. It is on 1 zone so you can walk everywhere or using the tube you are in few minutes in piccadilly. The hotel is old-fashion but very clean and the staff is very friendly. It feels home to us. Price is ideal for us which travel on budget.
