10/10 Exceptional

Close to London’s iconic landmarks

Our stay was good, overall. We didn’t have any concern - bed and pillows were comfortable, room is small but I’m sure that’s the case for most hotels in that area, love the heated bathroom floor, staff were nice and we were greeted with coffee/tea when we arrived. So close to Buckingham, Big Ben and London Eye!

This hotel is a new discovery for us and we are thrilled with it! So much so, we cancelled another reservation to extend our stay here. Beautiful, elegant with high end service and a wonderful staff who have an eye for details. This is a great hotel. We can’t wait to return.
Terry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here at the end of our trip and wished we had gotten to stay here longer. Place was beautiful, staff super nice and breakfast was outstanding. We had a little hiccup with our TV and the guy helping us was very professional. He had to come back 3 times but fixed the problem and then the hotel made it right by comping our breakfast. Made us feel like they really were apologetic towards our mishap. Would definitely stay here again when back in town. Everything was great.

Great Hotel. Good location quick walk to the Tube Check in process is very long and staff is very friendly.
Dwayne, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

NOT 5 star Hotel, clearly lacks maintenance

The hotel is rated as a 5 star, charging 5 star prices. With that I expect 5 star accommodations. While the room was clean, bed comfortable, the bathroom kept having a musty mildew odor, as I then discovered the shower was not properly being maintained and there was mildew everywhere. Definitely NOT 5 stars. Reported smell to hotel housekeeping, smell was removed but the mildew remained. Upon checkout was provided a 1 night 50% discount which is definitely not compensation for the amount paid. 5 stars is deceptive.
Stacey, 5-night trip

Hands down a 5 star stay
