“The location scores, putting guests near Buckingham Palace and other key sites; residences with kitchens stand out, though some rooms can feel small for the price. Service aims for a member-club feel, complemented by sustainable practices, although consistency has been noted as an area for improvement. It's a stylish base, but manage expectations.”
