 Unfortunately the fact that it s a beautiful listed building means its elevator is tiny so two trips for two people with suitcases are inevitable with a bit of a wait between them We didn t like the breakfast we weren t asked by the waitress what we d like to order so we just helped ourselves to the basic breakfast not a very varied selection You get charged 10 GBP on arrival just in case you use the mini bar I was surprised I was told on check out I d get the money back in a few weeks 
 We liked the historic listed building the hotel is in It s convenient that it has a Persian restaurant inside The staff in general was quite helpful with several issues Our heating failed on the first night so when they gave us an electric heater the next day it saved us The toilet also broke and the repairman was nice and quick in fixing the flush tap The gentleman from the reception was nice to hail us a cab on departure as we were in a hurry The location is very nice and just across the street from a metro stop and an entry to Hyde Park and around the corner from a convenience store and pretty old pub The Swan
