Christmas shopping
The hotel is in a great location for west end, Christmas markets, China town. Requested an upgrade and we did indeed have an upgraded room. Really comfy bed. It was our anniversary and when we got back to the room we had 2 small bottles of Prosecco. Nice touch! Thank you. Wonderful 2 night stay.
