The location is exceptional—adjacent to Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly—with most major destinations within a short walking distance and multiple bus stops and Tube stations just a few blocks away. The staff were consistently courteous, professional, and highly responsive. Because we were staying during Christmas week, I contacted the hotel in advance to ask for guidance, given that public transportation does not operate on Christmas Day in London and many restaurants are closed. The concierge promptly provided a well-organized Google Sheet with a comprehensive list of restaurants open on Christmas Day, along with attraction hours and suggested activities. This level of proactive support was particularly impressive. Overall, I was very satisfied with the stay and would not hesitate to return in the future.

The staff were friendly, but the hotel was disappointing. It is labelled as a four star, yet the hotel foyer and communal areas are sparse. I don’t believe the experience is worth the price we paid.

We thought that, for the price , the room was very small, with no armchair and one desk chair. The toilet flush did not work at all well - It took many flushes to clear. Also there were no instructions on getting regular channels on the TV.
