balanced stay

helpful staff amazing breakfast dirty balcony limited menu
the staff was helpful . i received a passionate tour of the artwork and the hotel's history from alastair. the location is near trafalgar square. it is also a short walk to many areas including st james' park. the room was immaculate. the reception staff was friendly and helpful. the breakfast was amazing, it included a full english, fresh fruit and pastries.
the room was very small so we had to squeeze past each other. the balcony looked very dirty. every plant surrounding it was dead. the restaurant menu seemed limited for a hotel with so few dining options. i expressed my displeasure, there was no further response.
