The full English breakfast (or continental if you prefer) is served in an attractive dining room and the food and service were excellent. Breakfast is included in the room price. There is also an elevator.
We found the staff very cordial and helpful. I was trying to locate the restaurant where we were to meet friends and the young desk clerk mapped it on the computer and printed the map for me.
The neighborhood seems quite safe and we felt no unease in walking there at night which we did on a couple of evenings. This area is full of small hotels and B & B's but is not filled with restaurants and bars. There is a good coffee shop and internet cafe nearby however.
I referred above to it as a good value and I think this is true, given that everything in London is expensive. Our room for 2 including breakfast was 95 GBP.
