St. Giles Hotel,, London > Reviews

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: jaded, numbers of guests

***Why The St Giles?*** Back in September 2007 my wife and I had decided we would like to go to London for the weekend and at the same time take in a show.

Advantages: Location ideal for West End and Shopping
