"From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly and helpful. Check in was easy. We’d booked afternoon tea in Alfred’s restaurant which I would recommend. We then used the spa facilities. There’s an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, ice bucket and relaxation room. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as we had booked for The Ivy. I have already recommended this hotel to friends and I would definitely stay again."

"Needs a little tlc in some areas... receptionist was more interested in chit chatting rather than helping me out with a problem in my room and I was expected to wait 2 hours for a remedy!!! If it wasn't for Cameron in the restaurant this place would be worse the management need to take a closer look at what he does and the hours he works and offer him management training"
