Property is nice in a fantastic location. Not sure if I would stay again though. Butlers were very friendly and again, excellent location, but thats where it ends. Elevators take forever. Thermostats in the rooms dont work - if you want the heat on, its permanent - so you either sleep in a sweat lodge or turn it off and wake up freezing at 2am to turn it on to pre-heat. Shower pressure is non-existent and our departure morning had no hot water - epic fail for the first week of January. Another huge miss was they make you check out at 11am, but the restaurant closes as 11 until lunch at 12:30. So we had to leave our bags in the lobby walk to find food elsewhere then come back to catch a taxi to the airport. Staff were all really nice and friendly and location is huge- but the rest was a total fail.

The rooms are nicely appointed. Our room was quite small and the storm windows were not properly fastened. With high winds, they rattled all night and the room was uncomfortably cold. However, maintenance fixed the rattle quickly and we had a portable heater thst kept the room very cozy for the remainder of the stay Staff was excellent and the hotel lobby festive for Christmas. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Amenities
*head bellman and head concierge were excellent *all other staff members need training on basic hotel knowledge and London transportation. As well as speed of service needs to be improved-phones went unanswered. Chatting and smoke breaks were visible. *the grandeur of the hotel is over marketed *complimentary snacks and beverages not refilled and when asked extremely delayed or never arrived *toilet water ran after flushing continuously *mold around tub and faucets and behind soaps *not family-Kid friendly Note NYE passes to the fireworks and phuyscal address the only perks of stay at the hotel
