“Located in Bloomsbury, this older hotel places you near the British Museum and Covent Garden. Rooms are clean, and the breakfast buffet stands out with a wide selection and attentive staff, but some may find the lack of air conditioning an issue during warmer months. Overall, it's a solid choice if you want to explore the city's sights.”
