 For the price paid there should be more extensive and comfortable common areas of the hotel Restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating reception staff were polite but offered only a basic service no offer to be shown to the room to take bags or given maps or information etc 
 Fantastic location close to all of the sites with a short tube ride but in a quiet street so not disturbed by traffic The building and those surrounding it are in very good condition and in a beautiful architectural location seems a small thing but good to have iron ironing board and tea coffee facilities in the room Room was extremely clean
