It wasn’t the best stay made worse by the price (but it is the week before christmas!) The beds were comfy, there was plenty of tea and coffee, the gym and pool area was good and given our room was overlooking Piccadilly it wasn’t overly noisy. That was sort of where things stopped being good; the room was so tired - scuffs all over the walls, the wardrobe looked old and tattered, the carpet was thin and had gathered in places which could have been a trip hazard, there was a hole in my bed sheet and the bathroom needed an upgrade! I didn’t find the staff overly friendly and they didn’t acknowledge the occassion we were there for which was fine. I was really disappointed, I’ve wanted to stay there for a while but won’t be rushing back and there would have been other places to stay that were better I’m sure!

It was great to be greeted so friendly and the wonderful man on reception gave us a room on arrival which was much earlier than check in time…which was very appreciated after a long journey. The room was located on floor 6 which made it quiet. It was very basic and extremely in need of a refurb. The bathroom was also a little tired looking. We visited on 15-17 December but the room was incredibly hot and we couldn’t cool it, yet the corridors seem to have aircon! You cannot beat the location of the dilly, being so centrally located but the hotel really does need an upgrade. I understand a refurbishment programme begins shortly, I just hope that they don’t just focus on the reception areas and instead pay more attention to the rooms.

How dare this hotel carry a 5 star rating. Honestly, I’ve stayed in fancier Premier Inn’s. Absolutely disgraceful. I feel nothing short of scammed after staying here. It’s a great location but that’s all you’re paying for. The rooms and service are substandard. The bathrooms are disgusting. I feel sorry for the people that work there - when I was checking out some poor woman was having her ear chewed by another unhappy guest and was obviously not permitted to do anything. Honestly, choose anywhere but here.

The toilet was not clean when we first checked in...maintenance work was going on into the evening right outside our room which was very noisy...room service took nearly an hour to arrive..for £400 a night this is totally unacceptable and I will definitely never stay again and I strongly urge others to avoid this hotel..especially for the price they charge..5 star's should be reduced to 2...
