I forgot my ear plugs

The three floors above our room were under remodeling that started at 7:54am. Why on earth would they place guests in these rooms. I complained and they said they were sorry 5 times Guess I will need to find a better hotel on my next visit to london.

Excellent Quality, but Customer Service Needs Work

The hotel’s location, amenities, cleanliness, and ambiance were truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the attention to detail in the decor, lobby looked very cosy and well-maintained, and the convenient access to the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre. Everything felt top-notch, and I was genuinely excited about my stay. The room was serviced daily and kept very clean, with complimentary supplies replenished regularly, which I really appreciated. However, I did face a delay at check-in when I was asked for a passport, despite being a UK resident. I experienced a delay during check-in due to being asked for a passport, despite being a UK resident. Interestingly, I later observed another guest checking in seamlessly with just a bank card. On my third night, I encountered another issue when my room key was disabled, despite having paid in full for my stay. Unfortunately, I found myself once again at the reception desk, where I was passed over in the queue for another customer. This was quite unpleasant, as I had to wait for almost 20 minutes just to have my key reactivated. I believe that service should be consistent and universal for ALL guests irrespective of race, gender or class!

Amazing place to stay

Amazing hotel, staff were polite and attentive throughout. Room was perfect, breakfast filling and plentiful and spa was exactly what was required. Really appreciated the special efforts to make the stay even better, as was my wife’s 50th and the flowers, birthday card and upgrade were greatly received and enjoyed.
