The Cumberland, London

Advantages: Central location, under £10 for early bird carvery, luxury
Disadvantages: none whatsoever

...found that haggling works!) The Cumberland is situated in Marble Arch on the top end of Oxford street - probably one of the most central hotels in London. Most places are walkable but if your feet get easily tired it's about a 30 second walk to Marble Arch tube station or the hotel has comissionaires to hail your your own personal taxi! THE HOTEL As you step into the hotel you know that it is something special, the lobby is huge with a large seating ...
...which can give you all the tourist information you need, as well as book last minute theatre tickets. THE RESTAURANTS The hotel has two restaurants an oriental restaurant and a brasserie where the famous Cavery is served every day. This is my big hint - even if you can't afford to stay at the hotel the EARLY BIRD DINER is a must, FOR UNDER £10 you can enjoy 4 courses of the finest carvery - and the bonus is that you can EAT AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE! ...

Advantages: Soft beds, high-speed internet, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Noisy at weekends, below average housekeeping

The Cumberland is easy to find, the staff are helpful, and the rooms are clean. However there are a couple of faults. Upon arriving at the hotel, I was told that my room had been double booked, but they decided to grant me a free upgrade.

Advantages: Right in the heart of London - off Oxford Street, good facilities
Disadvantages: Expensive. Room features, car parking, congestion charge

...I stayed for a business conference/exhibition - the company managed to negotiate a deal for £130 B&B delegate rate - but was quoted £195!!! Advantages - in the heart of London, next to Oxford Street - Excellent internal decoration - great foyer - Very modern bedrooms/decoration - Gary Rhodes Restaurant on site - I've eaten here before - great food but expensive/over rated! - Great bar - Great Business facilities - conference rooms/facilities - Multi-lingual staff - Great breakfast (again expensive if you were buying it separately) - Lots of rooms - plenty of availability Disadvantages - Expensive!
