Have just come back from 3 nights at this hotel. The room was quite large with a 6ft bed and all the facilities that you may want.

However I do feel they have lost some of that original charm by not having it actually resembling an actual garden!
If you fancy visiting Piccadilly gardens just don?t expect too much and don?t be surprised you think ?is this it?? After all it is just a flat piece of land with a bit of concrete and grass on it! ...
