This is a very nice hotel and worth your 81 plus tax bid.

It is very nicely located, near New Bond Street, Oxford Street and lots of shops. I would suggest if you are not a big walker that you get a cab to knightsbridge or to the other end of oxford street (marble arch) and try shopping down there and then tube it back to the hotel. If I remember correctly, it wasn't that long of a walk to a tube stop and there may be a bus even closer. Its pretty close to the grosvenor gardens Marriott too.

As for breakfast, I never pay very much for mine. I guess 25 dollars for breakfast in a nice hotel isn't very much. I usually head to my local coffee republic for a quite bite.

I know letiole stayed here recently and my three day stay in Dec 2001 was very pleasant.
