Nice hotel with very friendly staff. Everything was clean and aesthetically pleasing the only improvement I can say was that some carpets/curtains needed a replace as they looked like they had been previously stained, but they weren't bothersome to the experience. Very close to Paddington and Lancaster gate underground stations, and very close to Hyde Park which was handy! In a relatively nice area without much disturbance.
