Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and minor disappointments. The location was perfect, with unique decor and a London village vibe, making it ideal for tourists. The rooms, although lovely and quiet, were a bit overpriced due to noise from the terrace bar. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist us. The dining experience was excellent, with high-quality options, but there were slight hiccups in the service. Overall, a great spot for exploring central London.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were absolutely stunning and fantastic. However, they were a bit overpriced for being shared and having a dark, small internal courtyard terrace. The service was great; the staff was very polite and helpful, but there was some noise and chatting among themselves. The location was perfect for meeting friends and shopping near Oxford Street. The dining experience was excellent, with delicious food and cocktails. The facilities were nice, with a lovely terrace for evening drinks.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with excellent fittings, though on the smaller side, and is a fantastic choice for a longer stay or remote work setup. The service is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The location is unbeatable for shopping and tourist attractions, right in the heart of London. The dining experience, while good, could be more exceptional given the surroundings. Overall, a hotel eager to please with minor room size limitations.
The hotel rooms are beautiful and luxurious, though lacking basic facilities like PowerPoints near the bathroom for convenient hair drying. The service was very good, and the terrace bar was a nice touch. The dining experience offered a delicious selection, especially the amazing take on the classic English breakfast and cocktails. The hotel has very nice decor filled with artworks and great background music.
The hotel offers stunning rooms with excellent showers and very comfy beds, perfectly insulated from outside noise. The rooms are well-appointed with ample space and fantastic balcony views. However, the dining experience can be slow and not up to par. The great location near theaters and top restaurants is a major highlight, ideal for leisurely walks to all desired destinations.
The hotel rooms definitely don't look or feel 5-star, although mine was very spacious and had a bathtub and shower. The hotel's location within the property was a bit poor as it was across the floor, but overall, the service was excellent, especially with the assurance that the music from the hotel bar would end at 1 am at the latest. The location is nice, just minutes' walk to the subway and famous Oxford Street, making it a great spot for tourists. The dining experience, though a la carte and absolutely wonderful, was a bit expensive for a supposed 5-star hotel. As for facilities, it was a fun and super cool vibe, especially in the public areas.
