I would give this hotel 5 stars for its fantastic location and how beautiful the property is. The beds were extremely comfortable, and most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar was disappointing. The bartender working last night seemed quite moody, and when the bar closed at midnight, the music and lights were abruptly turned off while we were still finishing our drinks. We were then asked by a lovely member of staff to finish our drinks in the hallway, which felt awkward and unprofessional. At check-in, the front desk made a point of telling us that everything in the mini fridge was complimentary for us to enjoy. However, when we returned to the room after the bar closed, the fridge contained only one bottle of water, one can of Diet Coke, and a single bag of popcorn to share between two people, which was disappointing given how it was presented to us. The room itself was nice, but there was no proper place to hang clothes, so we ended up hanging them on the doors, which wasn’t ideal. Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential, but a few details and service issues took away from what could have been a perfect stay.

I have stayed here several times and this visit was not what it used to be. The staff is nice but very dismissive about customer concerns. Everything is "I see what we can do" and rarely is anything done. The lobby use to be a comforable cozy place to be, warm, fire going, nice large chair, some service offered to everyone from drinks to snacks. Not this time NO one offered any of those options. The lobby was cold and no fire going~ the doors to the outside were kept open on a cold morning all through the noon hour ~ they must love paying for all the electricity. The rooms are no longer the English regal looking rooms~ the beautiful fruniture and damask bedding is has been replaced, feels more like a Holiday Inn. I asked for an extra blanket and they brought a small barely twin size THIN thing that looked like it have been around awhile ~ the thread was coming out and the edges coming undone. So very sad. Overall it was a huge disappointment staying here, the cost of course has not changed. Still expensive and honestly not worth it. Staying a modern hotel might have been just the same and not as costly. One large issue I had was the rooms thermostate was odd ~ it was either very hot or very cold and the temp would not stay stable. The have a heating/cooling problem they really need to address in this hotel. One door man was awfully forward that was a little annoying, I was a solo female traveler and he still too forward and trying too hard to be charming. Dissapointed.

Fabulous hotel in a terrific location. It would have received 5 stars, however we ran out of toilet paper, called for some more and none was delivered. We had to call again in the morning and it was promptly delivered. Luckily there was some tissue we were able to use. Also, the cleaning staff cleaned our room but didn’t empty the garbage that was full.

This hotel was recommended by a colleague for location and atmosphere. It seemed worth the premium price, to me, for the historic building and reputation. We stayed for 3 nights but only had hot water for the first half of our trip. We took icy cold showers two mornings in a row, with an evening of the same in between. Maintenance never came, after each round of complaints, and the front desk had repeated excuses for why the hot water was "just now rectified." The morning manager offered us a meager discount of 20%, that she insisted on issuing only through Expedia. We didn't have time to negotiate further as our airport transport was waiting. When I contacted Expedia, they tried to intervene with no response from the hotel. This hotel did not deliver while charging us a premium price, then they lacked integrity in rectifying their injustice. There are many other London accommodations that would surely deliver more for a better price.

If they offer you room 840 then ask them for a different room! There was damp on the ceiling around the air conditioning unit and the walls were dirty. Air conditioning didn’t work and the heater in the room only put out cold air! I paid £350 for a deluxe room but this room was far from deluxe! They changed the room for us to room 620. This room was more like the room I’d seen on the hotels website images. Not a nice experience so wouldn’t book again.

Not the first time I have stayed here. This hotel is a classic, historic hotel in a fabulous location. Service is spectacular and I love the beautiful touches you find in such classic hotels. A little serendipity would be if you walked the main staircase instead of taking the lift. Beautiful carved marble, stained glass and stunning decorations of days gone by. Room was quite spacious but the bathroom was a bit challenging with organization. My only disappointment is the hotel is showing a bit of age and needs some maintenance work including a lift that has apparently been non-operational for quite a while. Still one of my 'go to' hotels in London.
