Amazing hotel located in the heart of London and within walking distance to all the major attractions. Hotel staff was top notch and responded to every need immediately. Hotel food and bar were first class. We even tried to check in early and our room wasn’t ready but they let us rinse off in the spa area which was amazing after flying all day.

We often use this hotel when in London, when the rates are within our budget, (not always the case!). It is in a lovely position on the Thames, near the wonderful Borough Market, and many restaurants & Pubs. The decor is exceptional, not the usual corporate look. the staff are always friendly, and the design of the rooms just excellent. If it's within budget you won't regret it.
