Great location, some issues

central location tourist attractions warm welcome
I found a tube station just two minutes away on foot. All tourist spots, like royal residences, parliament, are within a fifteen-minute walk. Hotel staffs welcomed me warmly at the front door, it was great. A comfortable location if you are in the capital.
I stayed six nights. The hotel seems have gone backwards since my last stay. Quality wise it should be treated as a three star hotel. There was not a wall socket right next to my bed for charging my phone.

The outdoor terrace provides nice space. I noticed an amazing breakfast service that had a wide variety of options available to guests, including hot and cold choices, pastries, fruits, and custom-made items.
