Excellent location—truly. Beautiful lobby and lounges. The room was simple, but had everything we needed. Most important—and what merits the five stars—is the staff. To a person they were courteous, problem-solving, and made us feel welcome.

I can’t recommend this hotel for people with disabilities. The elevators are too small for those who use mobility scooters. If you can be mobile, however, they will happily store your mobility scooter downstairs in with the luggage. I travel with two small Service Dogs and was not allowed to eat in the restaurant at first. Roberto, the manager of the restaurant knew the laws under the Equalities Act and told the staff to let me and my Service Dogs to eat there. I went another time and they weren’t going to allow me to eat there. I told them to talk to their manager and was then allowed to sit down. If this hotel wants to contend with other high star hotels then they need to know the laws and how to treat disabled people. I frequently got looks of annoyance. I had to tell staff not to rush me when doing tasks. Zoltan the engineer there was very kind and understanding. He always made me feel welcome. I had stayed at this same hotel a year and a half ago. I had an awful time then too. I made the mistake of not remembering it was the same hotel or I had never would have booked it. As far as the hotel itself. It is a very tired building. There is no doorman to keep an eye on who enters so there is nowhere to sit.The carpet was very worn. The room didn’t stand out and also looked dated. The restaurant is actually quite small for a hotel of that size. There is an extended seating area on the second floor but it feels removed and remote if you’re returning from a show.

What a great hotel can’t recommend it enough from checking in to going home the experience was quality. We had a small issue with the TV which was sorted in minutes the location is fantastic. Our room was on the 7th floor it was so quiet and the room very comfortable . Our only thing we missed was having a safe in the room but it’s only a small issue. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again

Location was perfect close to lots of major sites including TheNational Gallery, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben to name a few. Within easy walk to theatres. Hotel clean, staff very helpful and friendly. Room had everything you needed along with comfortable beds. There is a water station on each floor along with a cupboard to stock up on anything you may have forgotten: toothbrush, comb, sewing kits, extra tea/coffee. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
