The property itself is beautiful, the rooms vary, some are newly renovated and done well, others are awaiting renovation therefore outdated. The issue I faced was with service, this is a Taj hotel and an Expedia VIP property, the service did not live up to this standard. Twice maintenance came to our room, unannounced, once after 10p and the other at 8a. They didn't call in advance, they simply banged on our door, which while on vacation, isn't great. There was an issue with the sink that they had to fix, why they didn't call in advance or give us a room that didn't have plumbing issues is unexplained. In addition, the room didn't have soap, shower gel or tissues. We called hospitality, who brought all three separately..and the next day after housekeeping, they didn't replace what was used. I spoke with the property manager, who couldn't have been less interested in understanding our frustration, and after having explained our experience, simply said sorry, enjoy your stay. A VERY POOR SERVICE EXPERIENCE...especially for a Taj and even more so for an Expedia VIP property. For the price point and while on vacation, I would recommend reconsidering this property, if you like good service.

One of the worst hotels I have stayed in London. Staff is not attentive, room was not ready even at 10:00pm and no apology or compensation offered. Breakfast spread is extenstive but very low quality.

My go to place in London

We always stay here while in London. Convenient located, close to all attractions and just a few minutes from the underground station. The room always clean and comfortable and the food is excellent.
