"What a lovely property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Melia. The service was excellent and the location was perfect, as it was close to the tube and lovely restaurants/cafes. We felt very safe in the area. The decor of the hotel was tastefully done. It smelled so good in the lobby and the fresh flowers were such an elegant touch. The breakfast every morning was very delicious as well. The rooms are nicely furnished, but small and cozy. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. "
