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.

Hotel room very comfortable with modern furnishings. Highlight has to be the cocktail bar watching the bartenders work together to make amazing cocktails. We did have an issue with the room not being serviced on both days which we feel was not what to expect from a hotel of this standard. We did eventually get the room serviced and have to say all of the staff are very professional in ensuring wrongs are put right! Ellis the duty manager(?) and the other Receptionist who we spoke to and who also checked us out (sorry didn’t get a name) are to be commended. It was the right location for what we had gone to London for although maybe not our favourite location. Would we return - yes I think we would.

The property is excellent. The room was great. Bed comfortable. Very clean. Staff friendly. We assumed the small bottles of water, and I do mean small, were free, as is the case in most hotels. Wrong. They were £5 each. Absurd. The music in ‘the 12th Knot’ was terrible. The DJ doesn’t accept requests. He was mortified when my friend asked for a tune. More importantly, it was stupid loud. I and my friends needed to leave. We literally could not hear each other speak.

Terrible stay - the only reason we stayed here was because of the bar, as a nice place to finish our evening out - on arriving at the hotel, both bars were closed for private functions; there was not even a lobby bar so we had to order room service. Rooms were naff
