The location is good if you want to be in the heart of London. It is quite congested in that area, but close to many sites and easy to get to transportation. The service was lacking at this hotel. The check in staff were very kind and helpful, but we had some rough experiences with the rest of the staff. One example, we asked for a towel as there were three of us and only 2 towels. The woman at the front desk was very bothered that we asked and said she could not deal with that right now. The room was nice and the breakfast was good.
