This hotel looks after you in the best traditions of service, but combines that with the integration of modern conveniences to give you the best of both worlds.
I stayed here for several nights whilst working in London. From the moment I walked in staff were friendly, knew who you were, and jumped to fulfil your needs. They managed to avoid the sometimes over smothering feel this can produce, a fine dividing line I admit but one they did well.
The room was small, definitely small, but well equipped with bed, desk, TV, wardrobe and normal room gear. Free water bottles and coffee/tea facilities with biscuits. The bathroom was again small but optimally designed to fit it all in. I cannot say that the room was 'roomy' but it was adequate for my needs.
Breakfasts are good, please order extra eggs freshly cooked, DON'T go for the scrambled egg baking under the hot lights. They even had bacon two ways, the more traditional British rashers of back bacon and crispy American style streaky.
Dinner was great, I just had light meals in the bar and via room service. Freshly cooked and tasty. The bar had a nice ambience and the live piano playing was great.
The location of the hotel was also great for the Bloomsbury area, and the British Museum in particular. It is also close to several tube stops, so unless your bags are very heavy the Underground is the best option.
I loved this place and would return.
