From the moment we walked in we were impressed by the aesthetics of the reception area. Very stylish yet felt homely and welcoming. Customer service was exceptional they helped us with the parking top tip part at the Qpark in Piccadilly place 5 min walk you can book in advance it’s safe and plenty of parking spaces. We were offered a glass of Prosecco neither of us drink so we declined but a nice touch . We were early but they checked and our room was available so we checked in super early which was great. Up in the lift to our room . We walked in and we both said wow !! Super plush and high tech and amazing big floor to ceiling windows lovely thick curtains with electric blinds . Building next door had scaffolding up but didn’t bother us at all and no building work noise. Bathroom had the most amazing rainforest type shower with high end luxury shampoo conditioner and shower gel with lovely fluffy bath robes and towels. Well stocked mini bar and snacks at reasonable price compared to other hotels I have stayed in. The lighting in the room was lovely with different modes that my other half loved playing with. Open style wardrobe which was great who needs to hide there clothes away . At the bottom of the bed a lovely velvet sofa which I found really comfortable. Iron and a hidden ironing board in the mirror and a hairdryer in the drawer . Basically we had the most wonderful weekend in possibly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in !! We will be back !! Thank you

Having stayed here previously and love this hotel I booked a Balcony room for a special occasion. The welcome from reception was quite cold, was informed at 3pm the room still wasn’t ready and on expressing disappointment it suddenly was and was informed they were short staffed. The tv didn’t work and had to ask for assistance which involved staff member having to come into the room and climb on the desk to try and get it on which thankfully she eventually managed to do. The ash tray on the balcony was full of cigarette ends and hadn’t been emptied from previous guests. The tea and coffee making facilities were very limited for a £200 pound a night room. The Bistro was closed which we weren’t aware of, may have missed the notification but the stay made me feel like I was an inconvenience rather than a welcome guest. Will probably think twice before returning.
