"Excellent service provided in a beautiful hotel." — source Expedia
" The lobby always has an impressive floral display and nice baskets of fresh fruit and Toblerone chocolates for the guests.\n\nThe location is excellent, right near the Holborn underground station on the Picadilly line (which is the same line that terminates at Heathrow airport. As such, I would advise taking the Subway from and to the hotel, rather than a Taxi." — source Travelocity
