The staff at the Hotel were outstanding. Those who stand out are the Bar manager, the concierge, the guest check in staff. My daughter and I were staying for 3 nights, we found it necessary to change rooms. The first room they gave us had no "windows" as they were frosted over. Its nice to be able to look out a window even if its just to see the weather outside. We were also disappointed when we asked to see the events facility. My daughter is a Librarian and we had hoped to see the library room that is on the web sight. Therefore we felt that the site was misleading. We also should have been made aware of the marathon that took place on the morning we were leaving for the airport. It was a little difficult to get a taxi and because of traffic, their was well over 100 pounds. The food was delicious and well presented!

Amazing location,staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was great with all of the finer things. I was sad we didnt have a view in fact I think the windows in our room looked into the elevator shaft but the windows were whited out and we couldnt see anything. Otherwise a perfect stay.

Excellent older Victorian building, the only drawback was that the hotel was undergoing renovations and not all of the facilities were open. Great central location, easy walk to many attractions.

This is a beautiful historic hotel. We were greeted by Amal at checkin, had booked a standard room and was upgraded to a front view room. We received champagne in our room for our 25th anniversary which was lovely. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and professional. The location of this property can’t be beat, subway so close and walkable to so many things. Our room could have used some updates, was pretty banged up and carpeting wasn’t clean. One morning I was left with a very stained towel to shower with. Next time I would upgrade the room. We would stay here again, had a great holiday.

This was possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. The staff was so friendly and helpful with everything we needed. The concierge arranged for a taxi on our departure that was the perfect size, right on time, and just great service. The high tea was very good and fun. Great location near all of the iconic London locations such as Westminster abbey, big ben, etc. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I have the opportunity.

Had a standard room which was actually larger and nicer than the upgrade room we had another night, some staff can be a bit snooty (and make you feel like you’re a bother) but some are lovely- weekend Brekky doesn’t start til 7am but was late to open and half missing - slow lifts - glad we got a deal as it’s certainly not worth the full price
