A delight

This charmingly quaint hotel and restaurant is my go to place whenever I need to stay in London. It's a family run business and Lorenzo and his team go out of their way to treat their guests like members of their extended family.

Charming hotel with wonderful staff

My husband and I stayed here for four nights while visiting our daughter and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. The room reminded me of ones on the Continent - smallish in size but with everything you need.
