After a lot of reading and researching I booked a 13th floor thames-facing suite for my wife's 40th birthday for 2 nights. I have to say it was one of the
best hotel stays ever. The suite was beautiful with great views, very quiet, air conditioned, very clean and modern decor. The service was really
impressive. To get the level of care and professionalism in a hotel like this takes a lot of doing and not many get it right, but it's right here. I've never
stayed in a hotel with such friendly and helpful staff, and I've stayed in a lot of hotels. After booking, I emailed the hotel on quite a few occasions to
arrange flowers, chauffeur, etc - and I was always dealt with promptly and with helpful advice. Throughout our stay the staff were always helpful. In particular Avin and Raphael made our stay fantastic and many thanks to them for their help.
We had breakfasts in the suite and these turned up on time and the food was really good. It made a real change as I've had countless hotels deliver
breakfasts late or not at all, or with missing items. Everything was perfect - and the service, again, was really friendly and professional. We also tried out
the City Cafe - again, very impressed with the quality of the food and the service. Location wise, we thought it was great. It's a 5 min walk to the Houses of Parliament and you're in a quieter area (thankfully) than the West End or Covent Garden. It's still easy to get around everywhere and there are cabs outside the Hotel, and staff were always on hand to get cabs to you if there were none around.
Can it be any better? Well, maybe having movies on demand rather than a pick-up DVD service at reception. And softer robes perhaps. But now I'm being really picky as the City Inn and it's staff are really doing a fantastic job.
