Pros. Outstanding location with easy access to central London. Reasonable cost. Amazing breakfast buffet.

Cons. We have stayed here on numerous occasions in the past. Rooms are not all the same. Sometimes they've been quite exceptional. Other times less so. Overall though, we've never been disappointed.
