Would happily stay here again
Great hotel - staff were super friendly. Only issue I had was that i couldn't turn the air con off in my room - i turned it off but it stayed on! Thankfully temperature was ok so wasn't an issue. Based on location and staff I would happily stay here again.

Amazing Stay as always
From pulling up outside the service was outstanding. The doorman opened the taxi door, helped me with my case and delivered me to the reception, where I was offered prosecco whilst checking in. Throughout my stay service from all members of staff I came into contact with was excellent. The room was spacious and very stylish. Food was delicious. This is my hotel of choice whilst in London and this stay was exceptional as normal.

Lovely hotel, friendly people but need more staff!
Beautiful hotel with a great location. Unfortunately they were horribly understaffed at breakfast and forgot about our room service order. We visited the restaurant instead thinking this would improve the situation but the poor lady running service was run off her feet. Very average breakfast after the wait.
