They have two few staff who are not trained well enough to cater to customers requests or help them to check in quickly or check out quickly or deliver a bottle of wine either opened or with a corkscrew to open it or the showerhead didn’t work
The hotel was very nice. It was clean, the staff was friendly and very accommodating. Great location to access food, shopping and entertainment. The restaurant in the hotel was excellent ( staff incredible). The negative was when we got to the airport and called the hotel to get transportation the concierge told us that they don’t have transportation ( although my reservation said 24 hour pick up and drop off. They said it was false, so I had to get a taxi at a cost of over 100 pounds. When we got to the hotel we had the concierge schedule a taxi to the Eurostar, which was three days later. On the day of checkout another concierge was there and told us that no taxi had been scheduled. So hotel overall is excellent but concierge service is terrible
A lovely stay in a beautiful part of London. Every detail of our stay was presented with attention and kindness. A beautiful, little room- but truly luxurious! A clear recommendation from us!
This is my second stay.
Pretty simple but nicely kept hotel.
Rooms decor could be better but are nicely kept.
Breakfast was very nice.
Hotel location is great.
The room was tired and we was told we had an upgraded room with a walk in shower. In reality it was a disabled room. It was hard using the sink, as we are both tall people and with no where to store anything it was disappointing. The room itself was tired and stale, with no air conditioning and this made it hard to sleep. The communal spaces, also had a stale smell.
We stayed 3 nights. Staff is super helpful. Highlights to concierge Eraldo, Naja at the front desk and Oscar. All 3 provided excellent service and great recommendations for every question we had. Very convenient area. Definitely recommend this hotel.
Beautifully designed room (the cosy pad is very comfortable for one...would be fine for two except there isn't much drawer/closet space) with an amazing amount of natural light and top notch customer service. Everything was perfect except for breakfast room service. I pre-ordered three times and each arrived right on schedule, but the food, though good (if not a bit overpriced for the quality), was lukewarm at best. Room service in the evening was fine though.
