First, to get the negative out of the way - the air conditioning was noisy, o I didn't get a particularly good night's sleep. My daughter, however, slept like a log... The hotel was fab. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Twin room modern, good size, very clean and had everyting you need, down to the 'White company' toiletries. The continental breakfast was delicious; everyting was fresh and plenty! There is a Tesco Metro just round the corner, so although there is no restaurant you can stock up on snacks.

We travelled from Milton Keynes to Euston (just over half an hour) and within 30 minutes of our arrival we were having coffee at the Royal Albert Hall, feeling very relaxed ande comfortable. We toured the premises and watched the Cirque Soliel in rehearsal. Having been to the Hall before, I didn't see a great deal I hadn;t seen before but I certainly learnt a lot and the guide was excellent. We travelled to the Rathbone Hotel by Taxi and were in our room after an effecient booking in process. Thbe room, although small, was extremely comfortable and the fixtures and fittings, including the bed, were excellent. The bed linen was white cotton and was also first class.

Myself and my beautiful 8 year old daughter had such a great trip we went to the Lion King at the Lyceum and aftewrwards spent 2 hours in Hamleys. The seats were so good and the show was amazing. The Rathbone Hotel was superb and just the right level for an 8 year old to go 'wow'. Fabulous trip. Next day the Tower of London and riverboat to the London's Eye followed by a trip to Hamley's once again and then Ripley's
