There were some things that could be improved but the overall experience was very good, so I have rated this a 4. I'll start with the downsides... The room could have done with a bit of... More

I have just returned from London and stayed in this hotel for 1 night. As a travel agent and a well travelled person I have stayed in good and bad accommodation. I was expecting an excellent hotel with special service. Check in was great, lifts are slow and tiny. Room was lovely, bathroom only had a shower over the bath... More

Having stayed here before on business I was pleased to be returning with my partner on a theatre break. I emailed ahead and requested a slightly quieter room than I previously had and was delighted with the room we were allocated! Room 870 was spacious and extremely peaceful! We weren't kept up by any loud music or building works (which... More
