The hotel we usually book in London was unavailable so we did quite a bit of research and decided on a Red Carnation chain hotel. Don't be put off when I say chain - because we found the staff to be incredibly personal, the property outstanding both in location and amenities and the services excellent.
The location is great for walking to all the great London shops and sights. The hotel is located in the best part of town and there is a wonderful pub right down the block.
Be warned - the rooms are on the small side but very functional and the beds are quite comfortable. They even email you ahead of time to find out what type of pillows you would like and whether you prefer a duvet or blanket.
Breakfast was included daily, which we took advantage of both in the restauarant and room service. The food is wonderful and the choices varied. We ate there 5 days in a row and didnt get tired of the choices.
Hope you all have as good an experience as we did. The staff is wonderful.
