Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is incredibly clean and quiet, situated conveniently in a bustling part of the city. Despite some initial room issues that were swiftly resolved, my stay was quite pleasant with a more suitable room provided, equipped with coffee and tea amenities. The service was exceptional overall, with a minor hiccup at check-in. The location is ideal, within easy reach of main attractions and transportation options. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of fresh fruits, and the facilities met my needs perfectly.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, providing a peaceful atmosphere despite being in central London. The service was extremely helpful and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from Piccadilly Circus, putting me right in the heart of the city. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide selection of delicious options, although the service was a bit slow with drinks. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel rooms are beautifully furnished and spacious, though with limited views compared to options in the area. The service is very attentive and friendly, especially notable for the wonderful staff like Nesli. The location is perfect for exploring central London, with easy access to many attractions. The dining experience, while pricy, is satisfactory. Overall, the hotel offers a luxurious stay but may not provide the best value compared to other options in the vicinity.
The hotel is a wonderful choice, with beautifully decorated rooms, especially the afternoon tea in the rose room, and exceptional service from the concierge desk, making it a memorable 5th visit for us. The location is unbeatable for exploring the city, though the breakfast room organization could be improved.
The hotel offers spacious and renovated rooms with great amenities, but the bathrooms could use modernization. The direct view on nearby offices may impact privacy, and the high price might not fully justify the level of privacy provided.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were brand new, equipped with modern amenities like USB plugs on each side of the bed and an HDMI connector to the TV. It was a clean and quiet haven in the heart of the bustling city. The service was top-notch, with friendly and professional staff who made my stay truly enjoyable. The location was central, just a stone's throw away from key attractions and transport links. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with a great variety of well-cooked dishes. Overall, a fantastic choice for a stay in London.
