Excellent small hotel in central London close to the British Museum. Cute lobby to sit in, relaxed atmosphere, restaurants and pubs close by but never too noisy. Wonderful and competent staff, always willing to go out of their way to help. Look no further if you care for a family run hotel in the perfect location for business or pleasure.
