Frommer's Review
Followers of the Agatha Christie TV series Poirot will recognize this Cartwright Gardens residence -- it was featured in the series. The antiques are gone and the rooms are small, but some of the original charm of the Georgian house remains -- enough so that the London Mail on Sunday proclaimed it 1 of the "10 best hotel values" in the city. All the rooms are decorated in traditional Georgian style. The location is great, near the British Museum, theaters, and antiquarian bookshops. There are some drawbacks: no lift and no reception or sitting room. But this is a place where you can settle in and feel at home.
Facilities:
Use of tennis courts in Cartwright Gardens; use of washer/dryer

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
