Pros (+) Our second stay and still our favorite hotel in London. Absolutely superior service, stunning decor, fabulous food, and lovely location. We'll be back again and again!
Cons (-) Rooms are small but adequate. Semi-see-through bathroom door was odd and not ideal for more than 1 person staying in the room.

The hotel is also close to the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Natural History museum and not far from Hyde Park. I also loved the staff.

Cons (-) The room was a little smaller than anticipated and the view from the room was of a building next door...

Cons (-) My room was a little small but still very comfortable and clean.
