Very nice hotel! The outside is so London-ish which is what we were looking for. The staff was right there as we arrived to get luggage and guide us to the reception desk. Very easy check in. Rooms clean and ready on time. Hair dryer was great! Don't need to bring your own. Did not eat here. Wanted to experience other dining options in London. Picked this location because it was close to so many things that we could walk to and then take a bus to farther sites. Only negative was that we wanted to really immerse ourselves in London and though the outside in the Westminster area was that...inside the hotel was not that. Overall I would recommend this hotel. Great English Pub right around the corner!!!

Beautiful property and amenities. Staff were very courteous and helpful. The room was perfect and extremely comfortable.

Rude staff and overpriced. I ordered a drink at the bar one night and charged it to my room. The person I talked to misheard my room number and later accused me of trying to steal a single drink. I would never stay at this place again.

Missing the little touches.

I was bitterly disappointed with the hotel as a whole - not the room or the upgrade. I sat in the court and was ignored by serving staff and being 4pm they did not have the coffee and cake option -only main courses?? I had to go outside the hotel for that. Two TVs in the room but unable to switch one on/off individually. The sink plug was not working so I had to scrabble below the sink to empty the basin. Not enough reception staff - always a queue. Wooden sticks do NOT replace teaspoons as they do not stir sugar into the coffee. The free water was a nice touch but I was unable to open the larger bottle due to the stiff stopper. The tablet in reception that I had to use to register was too high for me as I am only 5'3" and had to stand on tiptoes. The bed was comfortable but too many unwanted cushions..
