“Chelsea's warm townhouse”

On a good location in a beautiful quiet centre, The Chelsea Townhouse is a very nice stay guests would repeat: excellent perfect service with staff going beyond expectations — many desk requests handled and friendly happy-hour service — clean rooms with a very nice old-money interior, a free suite upgrade, good minibar juice and coffee, an awesome breakfast and huge rooms. A dissent though: clever camera work overstated the room, the shower couldn't hold temperature and facilities felt lacking.
