lovely stay with excellent service

accommodating staff first floor room convenient location great breakfast

the staff was very accommodating i was able to get a room on the first floor due to mobility issues their communication was first class breakfast included a range of fruit and cereals. the location proved convenient. i easily accessed both the central line and covent garden within a short walk the quiet road ensured peaceful evenings. i found the room nice and the breakfast great.

the shower had a step down from the bathroom this would be fine for younger people but might be a little difficult for someone older with mobility issues
