Fantastic Location and Excellent Service!

amazing location early check-in clean room
The hotel is in an amazing location, near Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. The nearest underground station is only a minute's walk away. Made getting around very easy! The reception was quick, and our room was ready early at 13:30. It was lovely and quiet, super clean, and provided everything we needed like tea and toiletries.
The absence of room service was an issue! Very little information was available online or in the room about what services were offered.
Dining

The pub downstairs offers a wide choice of drinks and food! Breakfast includes both cooked items and a continental buffet. It provided a pleasant start to each day with various options.

street noise limited menu
I was a bit disappointed with the noise level in my room. I could hear a lot of street noise throughout the night. the room service menu was limited, I hoped there to be more options available for late-night dining. Those two aspects impacted my overall stay a little more than I would like.

Adequate stay, some issues noticed

dirty mugs cleaning standards
The breakfast cleanliness was a problem . The mugs had an odor similar to dirty dish soap and bodies. I asked for a clean mug, but the replacement had the same smell. I rinsed it with water. It helped a bit. I worry about the cleaning standards for their machines and other items.
