This was our first time staying at the hotel and we had a lovely hotel. The staff are warm and welcoming. We had a cosy room with a very comfortable bed. It’s lovely to sit and have a drink in the American bar and to have coffee in the breakfast area. We would definitely come again

Hotel location and access to the Tube were unmatched. Lobby, halls, and room were well-maintained - elegant without being overwrought. Being at the end of a right-angle dead-end street, it was quiet. Staff were just OK. Not unpleasant, but I don't think I saw a single smile. I don't necessarily expect US levels of obsequience, but an occasional smile or pleasantry would have been appreciated (especially when a large number of the clientele are Americans). Of note is the addition of a considerable ( I believe it was £30 / night) "discretionary" service charge on the final bill. I had left a tip for the maid on the bed when I left, and felt that a total £210 for our stay was way too much. I decline the fee. I'm not sure what's worse - a discretionary service charge or the more common practice in the US of "resort fees". Despite this, it was a very pleasant stay.
