 Even though Booking com clearly stated that the credit card detail provided is ONLY for security purposes and that the Card will NOT be charged BEFORE arrival the hotel went ahead and charged the first night of stay to the card When I asked them to reverse the charge as I am paying by Cash they refused citing silly excuses I had also clearly stated that I will be paying by Cash for the entire stay on arrival but alas NOT good VERY STIFF FOM Duty Manager 
 Lovely cosy room VERY CLEAN Very Quiet area of Central London Great for a morning walk in the Hyde Park Perfect for a Business trip
