I stayed in a mews view room for three nights. the room had nice decorations with excellent maintenance, including high-standard servicing. the hotel is conveniently located just two or three minutes from victoria underground station. breakfast is served in an elegant dining room. The variety and quality of food met expectations!
the door people were super rude, because i asked if this was a hotel as i needed to find a place to crash. the guy tried his utmost hardest to avoid eye contact. i was too scared to approach the front desk after that rude encounter.
