Hotel has had a recent major refurbishment. I have stayed here a few times, location is perfect! We found our room was modern and comfortable but dark, especially in the shower. No mirror in the room, Only mirror was in the bathroom. We had to ask for an extra bathrobe and teabags, only one of each left for two of us. Staff however were incredibly helpful, just feel the design of the hotel overall is far too dark for such a beautiful building, not an improvement I feel. Roof bar is a lovely improvement. Major roadworks going on outside of the hotel so taxis found it difficult to drop off. We only like coffee and pastries for breakfast, so went to great coffee shop next door…Great stay otherwise

Fantastic Hotel!!
The staff was friendly and amazing! Loved the nightly, turn down service with chocolates. The bedding and pillows were so comfortable, I could have stayed in bed all day!! The spa was amazing! I swear the masseuse has magic hands because my back and legs were sore for days from all the walking I had been doing...and after the massage I was pain free!! I had food and drinks at the rooftop - food, drinks, service were all wonderful. The location is great and walking distance too many shops, restaurants and attractions. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. I highly recommend it and would def stay here again! Special shout out to the doorman/concierge Juan Carlos who one day ran down the street to hail me a taxi during rush hour and generally went out of his way to be friendly and helpful! Great job!!
Room service - chicken caesar salad....it was delicious!
View from rooftop bar - they were closing but still accomodated me with a glass of wine!!
Chocolates on my bed - nightly turn down service

The hotel does not deserve a 5-star rating. To start with, the carpet outside our room was stained. It wasn’t dust or it would have been hoovered. Upon entering, the entire room was shrouded in dark: dark walls, one small window in the corner, terrible lighting and a window blind that didn’t allow us to open the window as it was in the way. The bathroom had black walls and terrible lighting with a vertical light smack in the middle of the mirror above the basin so you were unable to see yourself! The loo lid came off every day, the basins didn’t drain, the shower didn’t drain either, the plastic bath overflow came off every day and the towels were frayed. Two of the three lifts did not reach the breakfast room and all the walls had massive scuff marks throughout. The staff however were very friendly and helpful, apart from the monosyllabic robot girl at breakfast who barked orders, without a single smile in 4 days. And breakfast was mediocre. To pay nearly a thousand pounds for a room allows me to expect far better than this sadly and I would therefore never go back or ever recommend this place to anyone. ☹️
