A 3-night stay away from London. Hotel in superb location for entertainment and shopping. however, it was a little noisy but not diminishing the overall satisfaction of the mini-break. Room a little warm with premises not advertised with AC, later advised to us upon check-out.

Staff at the front desk is very nice, Sri offered us room upgrade to king bed with Castle view after we signed up for ASR rewards. Rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. Breakfast buffet is really good with a variety of options and the staff is friendly. Overall we enjoyed staying 2 nights, the area is nice, walkable to bus stops, restaurants and the old town.
