stellar stay near the thames

quiet locationcomfortable bedfriendly staff
i really enjoyed the hotel's quiet location set slightly back from the main tourist thoroughfare. i easily accessed the underground as it was only a short walk. the room was lovely.. i particularly appreciated the comfortable bed with egyptian cotton linens and a plush mattress. the staff members were always friendly and helpful.
The air conditioning in my room seemed slightly ineffective. The room felt a bit stuffy at times.
