An excellent place to land in London after a redeye flight -- easy to get to from Heathrow -- and then to catch a train the next day for Scotland. Very comfortable king bed, good shower, and if you get a park-view room up high, the branches of great trees wave at you from right across the street. The park itself is wonderfully walkable, as is the neighborhood which offers excellent Indian food and access to the British Library and more. And the hotel has an elevator to help you get there! The toiletries had a pleasant scent (this is super rare in our experience) and the optional breakfast buffet was excellent. Finally, the staff could not be more kind and helpful. The only funny bit was the bathroom sink faucet: it didn't quite reach the basin, so water flowed over onto the floor every time we tried to use it. So while the hotel could use a bit of updating, still highly recommended and we'd love to come again.
