Breakfast was taken in the ground floor restaurant - hot items/buffet were available. The lounge was also open in the evening for drinks and snacks (mini spring rolls, vegetables and dip, hummus, etc.). Overall, I would definitely return to this hotel - I have previously stayed at the GSY and also liked it, but I prefer this location more along with the larger rooms and fairly reliable suite upgrades. As others have mentioned, taking the HEX then a short taxi ride is super convenient and had me at the hotel from Heathrow in ~30 minutes, and I love the Mayfair area.
i always just walk from Paddington - feels great after a dozen hours on a plane
