I arrived pretty late at the end of a 20 hour day to be told that my booking (via laterooms) was possibly not going to be honoured as they were overbooked. However after a short while they changed their mind and I was given the key to a room on the 3rd floor. However, I had to call them to... More

The hotel looks freshly renovated, clean rooms, free internet, power shower, all the amenities of a 4-star-hotel; I booked an internet special and the room was extremely small, only for people with minimum luggage; bed too soft and really small (not even queen size, more a double bed) - not fit for 2 people! 2 houses put together, so some...

They overbook and tell you they have maitnance problems. Read the other reviews, they have done it in the past and will do it to you as well (even if you reserved with Booking.com as I did). They offer a worse hotel which is far away and compensate you with a free breakfast. Ridiculous!!! We have to stop these liars... More

Chose this hotel to be close to Marble Arch . We received a warm welcome with pleasing smile. The room we stayed in was spotless . All the staff the housekeeping, porters & breakfast team were superb. They were so helpful & always ready to be at your service. The first experience at this hotel was so good that we... More

We too suffered the imaginary maintaince problems at our original hotel an got transferred here. There wasn't that much in terms of distance between the two hotels so it didn't effect out plans. The hotel laid on a free breakfast for messing us around, I suggest everyone demands this as a minimum. On arrival at the hotel it took us... More

Arrived around 8 pm. Was told there was no room available (although people arriving after me could still check in! I suppose they booked with higher rates...). Had to stay 1 night at another hotel and other 2 nights back in Shaftesbury Metropolis, which would have meant transferring luggage back and fourth. In the end I agreed to that scenario... More

Booked a 'Club Room' which wasnt ready when I arrived at 11am (fair enough check in as 2pm). Came back at 2pm, went to room to find electrics not working, fixed after 10mins. Not a huge problem but annoying none the less. Room very small and stuffy. Air-con not great, didnt bother reporting. Room was clean, bed a bit lumpy.... More
