This was a Christmas trip for my Mum, I thought I give her a surprise treat, we booked in on 22nd December, great location as described but I want to say a huge thank you to the staff, warm welcome, swift booking in, the Junior suite was amazing the room was clean and tidy, and such lovely touches like mini bar and Nespresso coffee machine and plenty of towels and soft dressing gowns, and the breakfast was great selection, hot and cold to choose from only drawback a bit hectic around the toaster . Will use this hotel again and would recommend 100 percent, thank you for a perfect start to Christmas, see you soon.

The hotel is beautiful, and the location cannot be beat… So close to the vibrant downtown yet in a quiet and residential area. The rooms are a bit sparsely decorated, and the wait for hot water is something which should be remedied, however the stay is more than comfortable.

There was no hot water in the room, was told that we were upgraded to a king room but it was two Donnie beds pushed together. The shower screen was also broken and issue with toilet plumbing. Really not worth it for the price

Clean room, comfy bed and polite staff. Loved the chrismas decorations on the ground floor. My only issue is the buffet breakfast was not vegan friendly. All food was grouped together , freash fruit placed next to cold meat. Cooked options only included mushroom and tomato's which was also placed right next to egg and cooked meat.

We were given a nice quiet room at the back of the hotel, no noise at all. Good size room but it lacked any nice little details. No bottles/carfe of water, no box of tissues. The toiletries were really bad quality. But the window would open and you could control the rooms temperature. The breakfast was ok. But the food was offered like warm. The quality of the orange juice was awful but the staff were great.

Old, tired room, though large for London. Very nice and accommodating staff. Shower was horrible. Half-wall shower door (who thought of this, and why do hotels buy them?) and terrible shower head got water all over the floor. Good breakfast included in (high) price. Well located.

Idris on reception was delightful. Professional, chatty and was happy to give us information about the local area. We requested fresh milk for tye room and went and fetched this himself for us. 5 star service from him😊 All the staff were chatty and courteous and couldn’t do enough for you. We would stay again for sure. We had a family room booked and this was big enough for 3 adults
