The fire alarm went of 3 times at about 9:30pm for a few seconds at a time. We called the front desk and they said it was a test. I doubt it was actually for a test, but if it was, probably shouldn’t do a test that late. Other than that, we loved the social hour, dinner, and cocktail lounge!

Hotel was convenient to many of the sites we went to in London. The only negative was a wedding held on a Saturday night with a very loud band which shook our room until midnight. If we visit London again we will be back at the hotel.

Beautiful Hotel, Hospitality touch missing

Whole experience feels very transactional. The staff in general don’t come across as warm . Only exception is the cheerful girl at the door . Nice parties and coffee/tea at the reception and location is 20 mins walk to Covent Garden Room is rather small

This property was very well located. The hotel facilities were in well maintained and luxurious. It is a renovated hotel and you can feel it. One of the two rooms was not as convenient as the shower ceiling was very short and was somehow inconvenient to take a shower. The staff could be more helpful, specially the Concierge.
