8/10 Very good

Nice rooms but restaurant service is hit or miss
Spacious, warm and well furnished room in a good location for Thames walks. The shower was massive but the heated towel rail was on constantly with no switch to turn it off so it felt like walking into a sauna every time you went in the bathroom. Onsite restaurant and bar is one of the Coppa Club chain which has a sophisticated but semi-casual vibe and menu. Had a lovely meal on the first night with a friendly and thoughful hostess, followed by a pleasant breakfast but service on the second night was terrible and we were left feeling cold (the snug area had no heating) and ignored (the waiter made no attempt to move us to a warmer area when we requested it and didn't come to check on us during the meal). Unfortunately it made us feel like second-class citizens and ended our stay on a disappointing note.
