Central Stay

great locationdelicious breakfasteasy walkroom service
The location was really great! Westminster Abbey was super close and so were other key sights. It made walking around very easy. The daily breakfast was full and delicious. It was cooked to order. I walked mostly everywhere .
There was no room service offered. I couldn't find very much info online or in the room about available services.
