Located just off Marble Arch, the area is conveniently located for Oxford St and Hyde Park. The area is also abundant for Middle Eastern restaurants.
The hotel is perfectly functional. Rooms are a reasonable size, and the bathroom (walk-in shower) wasn't too cramped. (Worth a check because it looked like some rooms weren't ensuite). However, everything is very tired looking and repair jobs have been done on the cheap, which makes the place look somewhat rough.
Check-in was smooth, though I was surprised to be called at about 5pm to be asked when I was planning on arriving (very politely). If I had a real grumble, it would be the creaky floorboard, which means you hear everything from the room above, and you become very conscious that you are doing the same.
I didn't have breakfast.
I was there for work, and it was fine for that, but it ihotels not a location for a romantic escape.
The hotel is not disability friendly, stairs into the hotel, and has no lift.
