 Two things to keep in mind only certain rooms have air conditioning others have fans in closets When the weather is very warm and humid that s a problem Also Strand Avenue is a very busy and noisy road with lots of pubs and drinkers And they get very loud very late And a general comment for Americans British people drink coffee with milk if you want cream you have to work at it At the hotel they understood that to be double cream then you ll get something equivalent to what you use in the States 
 Full English breakfast was very good Free newspapers provided in lobby which is nice Staff was very pleasant as well and location is fabulous as far as convenience to Trafalgar Square and other landmarks Walking distance to Piccadilly Circus Churchill Warm Rooms and Westminster Abbey as well National Art Gallery and Portrait Gallery are at Trafalgar Square only a five or 10 minute walk from the hotel
