 We thought breakfast was in the deal it wasn t and at 23 something it s a seriously expensive option we didn t take up We had a ground floor room which was convenient but unfortunately the hotel structure in general being quote old transmits quite a lot of noise so anyone moving around in adjacent rooms or the corridor was very noticeable Unfortunately the reverse switch broke on the fan rendering it unusable and we weren t there long enough to get it repaired 
 The hotel has great character and is very nicely located for exploring There s also a great cafe in the park opposite Convenient for the tube it s a good base to get around from it s nicely appointed and to a good standard without excessive formality Comfortable room nice big bed very narrow bath though all the usual amenities and although no air conditioning a 10 foot ceiling with a ceiling fan Away from main roads so no significant external noise VERY personable and helpful staff
