Absolutely Delightful!
Pros:

Beautifully decorated with incredible art. Every one of the staff were friendly & helpful!

Cons:

The only negative I can come up with is that there were 2 steep steps down to our bathroom with no lighting or handrail. Could be dangerous at night.

Lovely small hotel with a garden
Pros:

Lovely smaller hotel that has great location, nice sheets and towels, beautiful decorated with a pretty garden, friendly staff and good made to order breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful at front desk.

Cons:

Although we enjoyed and appreciated the friendliness and warmth of the dining staff and being able to get a hot breakfast, breakfast service was very slow and and sometimes disorganized, a few small tweaks could make it even better experience. Rooms are small, but that’s to be expected in London.
