We had two days in London before traveling to South Hampton to meet a cruise. This was a great option. Room was on the small side (not so much so that it was a real problem, just not as comfy as a larger room would have been.) Service/cleanliness and location made up for it. We'd stay here again. A higher end hotel, walkable to restaurants, pubs...but not noisy.
