Perfect Location, Lovely Staff, great 4 theatre bk

Lovely stay, fab hotel in the centre perfect for after the theatre, we did check in late so had to wait for someone to let us in (only 2 mins so no issue there) and then find our reservation despite me putting on my notes when booking we would be coming after the theatre (in total took less than 10 mins so not a big deal but we were tired and it stops it being 5 star in every area) otherwise super helpful, and everyone was really friendly, lovely hotel, we will look to stay again next time we come to London

8/10 Very good

Good hotel

Great hotel. Conveniently located. Friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast and lobby/bar area. Clean and comfortable bedding. However, carpet seemed dirty and there were cob webs around the bathroom door. Housekeeping knocked on the door multiple times when we had a Do not disturb sign. Some hallway doors are squeaky and hard to get through with luggage, but overall good hotel. We felt safe and comfy.
Tatiana, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was okay, windows were very dirty the on the first night the AC did not work and the shower only had cold water. Second night was much better.
