the breakfast was acceptable, including fresh pastries and a selection of teas.
I encountered an issue with the in-room entertainment system (i found it outdated). It lacked modern streaming capabilities. the limited selection of channels and difficulty navigating the interface detracted from my overall experience. i expect a more updated system for a hotel of this caliber.

The location is convenient, close to the tube station with easy access to different parts of the city. The entrance and driveway presented a beautiful view.
