 Any negatives are very small and would not prevent me from booking here again but deserve mentioning The room was so fabulous but the bed bordered on hard as a rock A firm bed is fine but this one was almost too firm and I d have to hesitate if booking for more than a couple days as it would become a problem on my joints Also I would highly recommend that the hotel put a dish towel in the room as I ended up wasting paper towels when drying dishes but didn t want to run the dishwasher for only a coffee cup or wine glass Lastly although checkout was at noon the housekeeper knocked on our door at 1030 and then stood outside waiting for us to leave She practically pushed past me as I rolled my suitcase out of the room a little weird and maybe a one off thing or a translation issue but still a bit rude as your final impression to an otherwise perfect stay 
 This was an amazing hotel that I would absolutely book at again I looked at hundreds of hotels and I m so glad we booked this one The staff was probably the nicest I ve ever met their dog is super cute breakfast was fabulous and the location perfect The room was very comfortable and well appointed and even roomy by both UK and city standards Although it isn t a highend brand name well known hotel it certainly held its own The lobby is so cozy that you almost want to go sit down there and read Simple things like the still and sparkling water on tap in the lobby area as well as coffee and tea give it a very nice and welcoming vibe It s on the other side of the bridge and down the river from Big Ben a good 20 minute walk However the vauxhall tube stop is a short 5 minute walk away and then only two stops to the district and circle lines So you were far away enough from the tourists without being way outside of the city There is a great little pub just feet away and a big Tescos grocery store down the street maybe a 6 minute walk I would absolutely book here again and I encourage you to try it out
