My wife and I got stuck in London while waiting to catch a connecting flight to Scotland. It turned out we would not be able to get on a plane for at least 2 days. Instead of staying at the local airport hotel we decided to spend our own money on a hotel in Central London. One of the flight attendants had recommended that we take a look at the Cumberland Hotel located in Hyde Park.

For 70 Euros you can get a lot out of a hotel room. The hotel was located right on the corner and our room just happened to overlook the famous Hyde Park. We made sure to take a wander through the park before we left for Scotland. Actually, during our short stay we did get to see a lot and the hotel staff was very helpful with recommendations.

We took advantage of the fine dining that the Cumberland hotel had to offer. It was very pleasant to be able to sit and have a bottle of wine or two and not have to worry about calling a cab or driving home. In the morning we enjoyed a free breakfast as well as great coffee and tea. Though we only stayed here fro a few nights, we still managed to get a lot of sightseeing out of the stay entirely.

We have already planned another trip to Central London only this time we will be staying for about a week. We have booked the same room that we stayed at in the Cumberland Hotel.
