Lovely grand looking hotel with a terrific cocktail bar! Rooms were clean and spacious. Very convenient for Bloomsbury and the British Museum. Should be easy enough to slip those Elgin Marbles in a large hold-all and slip back to hotel unnoticed. I’m definitely NOT working for the Greek government! Promise! Scouts honour! Dib Dib Dib!

Warm, friendly, accommodating staff. We booked the premium family room with two double beds and the room was very large for London standards! The 24-hour room service was key when my family was too jet lagged for dinner out. Only feedback is 1) wish there was an electrical outlet available in the bathroom for hair dryer and 2) could be a bit brighter with more lighting options. Overall very happy with our stay.

Being able to check into our room early really got our stay off to a great start as we were arriving after a long flight. The staff were very kind, friendly and anxious to help in any way. The fluffiness of the towels was another level and everything about the hotel spoke of quality and attention to detail.
