After staying at 4 and 5 star hotels that didn't meet our expectations, we stayed at the Blandford in desperation. We were so surprised! It looks at little shabby on the outside, but inside it was new and clean. It had everthing you could want including a wonderful breakfast. It had a real king sized bed and flat screen TV. It is just across from the Baker Street tube station. We will definately stay at the Blandford again.
