Hotel is very upscale and comfortable. The staff are exceedingly nice and helpful (they significantly stepped up and helped us with a minor medical problem my daughter had upon checkin). The rooms are a smaller size comparable to other large city hotels, but are feature packed, very updated and very comfortable.

My stay here was great! The only reason for not giving an excellent rating is the tiny size of the rooms. Luckily I was traveling solo, because my room was not big enough for two people. There simply isn't enough storage space or square footage- and thats coming from someone who's lived in NYC. The staff was friendly. The property is luxurious and well kept. Excellent location for scenic walks to landmarks and shopping.

Close to London’s iconic landmarks

Our stay was good, overall. We didn’t have any concern - bed and pillows were comfortable, room is small but I’m sure that’s the case for most hotels in that area, love the heated bathroom floor, staff were nice and we were greeted with coffee/tea when we arrived. So close to Buckingham, Big Ben and London Eye!

Very disappointed that there was no bottled still water available - when we asked for still water we were asked to order on uber eats. They were not even able to provide a jug of fresh water. Appreciate their delivery had failed but as a 5 star hotel I would have expected contingencies to be in place. In fairness they did find us a bottle of sparkling wine externally so we appreciated that.

We were put into a room on the first floor which was above the entrance of the property and right next to the road. It was noisy even with ear plugs, a banging sound could be heard (probably the front doors below every time they were used throughout the night). Staff friendly and location convenient but wouldn’t stay again due to noise.
