A great stay!
We've had a wonderful stay at this hotel! We've been travelling with our small dog and the location has been just great, right at the Hyde Park. The staff is very nice and welcoming, the hotel is pet friendly. The hotel is not of the newest, but the rooms have very good beds and the price quality is very good!
