We wanted to just walk to the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery, and have easy access to West End shows, restaurants, and other attractions. We also wanted to prepare a few of our own simple meals. Hotels with those options were crazy-pants expensive. But Citadines had a perfect location, a pleasant, comfortable room and lobby see-up, and a 24-hour coffee machine. The optional breakfast is nothing spectacular, but it’s convenient. And I was very surprised how quiet our room was!
