I stayed at the W for 4 nights and can’t stop raving about how good everything was. From the check in experience, to the delicious breakfast and of course the property, I can’t wait to come back and stay here. Stephanie from front desk took really good care of us and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. She was very pleasant and even helped with giving us a late check out when our morning got ahead of us. David Twinn, the quality assurance manager, was also a gem. He left a bottle of bubbly and some delicious chocolate (by the #1 pastry chef from Asia!) in our room. He also checked in on us often and dropped by to say hi at breakfast one day. The Brazilian gentleman who helped us with our bags at the ground floor (don’t remember his name unfortunately) was very helpful too. The W staff are super well trained and the quality of the hotel is very high. Not to mention, the rooms are sparkling clean and beautiful. Thank you W staff!

I've stayed at the W London for at least 30 nights over the past year. In fact, the reason I keep coming back over and over is the amazing hospitality and warmth of the entire team. As a business traveler who spends ~130 nights per year living out of hotels everywhere from Houston to Hong Kong, it's not just about the amenities or the location. Those things matter, but even more important is that after exhaustive days of traveling, there are smiling faces of team members who greet you as family -- someone they're happy to see again. And this is why I am forever-more a loyal customer of the W London. It really means a lot to me that on numerous occasions, as soon as I get off of the elevator to the reception desk at the W London, either Olga, Sebastian (from Uruguay), Stephanie, Fatima, or someone else's eyes genuinely lights up as they say "hello Daniel - welcome back." There have been days (or nights) when I've arrived in a not so great mood, but it instantly changes when Ramona (who works in the restaurant area) makes a point to pause whatever it is that she's doing to bring me my favorite green juice to the front desk as I'm checking in. And speaking about the top notch service and care of the restaurant staff, Johnny always takes a few moments out of his busy morning to chat, check in on me, and make sure that I my favorites is served up promptly so that I can make it out in time for my busy day. There's so much more that I can say, and I'm sure I'll have to add to this review so that I mention and thank many of the names that I've left off of today's writeup. For now, let's just say that if you're looking for a beautiful spot that serves as an oasis of calm in the middle of London -- a home away from home -- book your stay at the W London. Cheers to all.

We stayed at the hotel last July and the experience was sweet and sour at the same time. We did the check-in, the staff was exemplary, and we loved the room. However, we went outside to have dinner and when we came back, in the reception, we saw a few met police members and heard a lot of noise from one of the ups floors. My partner and I felt scared so we ran to our room. Afterwards was when we realized that there was a massive brawl in the events rooms, thanks god that nothing happened to us even though we were close to it.

We spent a few days at the W London and we had the bast stay. Location is prime and every member of the staff that we encountered was friendly and approachable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Greg and his colleagues in the lobby that also escorted us to our room helping us with the luggage, the lady at the check in (missed the name, I am sorry) was also very friendly and smiley. Special mention to Simone and his team of Concierges which were absolutely great and made the impossible possible for us.

Had a great stay at the W London for a couple of nights February 19-21. The hotel is in a fun/lively location, where the streets around it are bustling, but the inside of the hotel is more of a refuge. More important than the building itself were the many W team members that we interacted with. A special call out to Andre at the front door who helped us (with an engaging smile) with bags, directions, and information, and, most especially, Fatima at reception who was incredibly welcoming, worked with us on a number of requests, and sent us on our way to our next destination with a nice personal note and a small bag of supplies for our travels. Would certainly return next time in London.

The hotel bar had the most amazing ambiance. Our bartender John made us fabulous cocktails! Sonal at the front desk delivered the most sensational customer service to make us feel like royalty! The luggage attendants were incredibly helpful!! We were exhausted from all of our traveling and this place was exactly what we needed to relax on our last night in London! Everyone was fantastic! Zero complaints!

Stephanie made my birthday so special from check in to drinks she made sure everything was not only satisfactory but made my 30th really special. She saw my partner trying to arrange a special night and went out her way to make it happen. The hotel is stunning, Stephanie made the stay top class. Thank you and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Home away from home, our experience from before arrival to departure was exceptional! We had booked a short weekend to celebrate my husband’s birthday together with our two sons. Some friends said this was not the best place to stay with children but… Thanks to Marina, George and Simone our stay was incredible, they went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Room allocation, rooming, welcome and birthday amenities (it was like Marina read my mind, mindblowing!) dinner recommendations from George and Simone were spot on. My sons called the room, their home and did not want to leave. We cannot thank them enough and we forever recommend this incredible hotel to everyone!!!
