Whilst a triple was booked the room wa snot prepared for it, we called and asked for it to be made whilst at dinner, arrived back and had to call a second time for it be made up, not ideal and certainly not what I’d expected for the cost and reputation of the hotel.

Hotel review
Service: I cannot fault the service. All employees were extremely respectful, polite and happy to help. Front of house when checking in were extremely lovely to deal with. They upgraded our rooms and provided adjoining rooms.
Rooms: rooms were modern, clean and had the essentials for a trip to London. They were on the smaller side however this isn’t a make or break given the coziness. The bedsheets and bed were 10/10. The comfiest bed and the softest sheets I have experienced in a hotel. The bathrooms were so fluffy and soft, a pleasure to put on. The shower was stand alone which was nice.
Location: I was only in the hotel for 1 night due to a family member being admitted to st Mary’s hospital on our trip. I personally wouldn’t find the location great but for a 5 star, exceptional attentive service, super clean, modern and comfy hotel I could overlook location.
I would recommend.
