Very good

The room was perfect for our family. The food was pretty good too. However he had a very cold beef dish on a cold plate when it stated it would be served on a hot plate. They did warm it up and didn’t even bring a fresh one or remove it from the bill. But I suppose that was a restaurant issue really.
Absolute god send. We booked another hotel which was very dirty and didn’t feel safe so we moved to this hotel. As soon as we walked it it felt safe and secure, super clean and cared for. Reception staff were amazing and we got a free cookie on checkin. Room was a great size and clean. Beds are firm but comfortable great after a day of walking. Location is brilliant opposite a tube station and near the shop
Arrived at the hotel and we were offered a complimentary upgrade to a family duplex suit which was very kind.
The room looked clean and welcoming, we were told that the sofa would be turned in to a bed for the children whilst we were out at the theatre which was no problem at all.
Upon leaving the room we noticed a pair of knickers under a television stand - disgusting really as the room clearly hadn’t been cleaned.
We let reception know, the guy was very apologetic and advised it would be sorted asap.
We came back from the theatre late, the children’s bed had been made and an apology given with the offer of breakfast. The room hadn’t been cleaned despite a note saying it had - there were still dirty glasses, tea spoons etc. but the knickers had gone!!
In the morning we packed to leave. Whilst packing it was then we noticed my daughters purse had gone. We’d come to London for my birthday and for her to spend her birthday money and someone had taken it from the room. A pink smiggle purse - there’s no mistaking it was a child’s purse.
We should absolutly have put it in the safe but stupidly during the push to leave we forgot.
Do not go to this hotel - they have a clear issue with cleanliness and theft!
I’ll be escalating this with more facts for the hotels mangagers but I will absolutly have for this happen to anyone else.
A fantastic birthday trip ruined by one person.
We turned the rook upside down looking, offered to look with staff have them check our bags etc.
We had a lovely stay and the food was amazing! We ate in the domes in the evening and the atmosphere and food were perfect.
The room was clean, warm and comfortable.
I did feel they were a little disorganised, i emailed previously to request early check in and although this was not promised they said they would do everything in their power to accommodate and that this request would be noted. We arrived at 1.30 (check in at 3) the room wasnt ready which was fine. Was told that we should come back at 2 as it should be ready by then… well we were still waiting at 3:15pm so ended up being late check in. Although one
Staff member apologised, i felt it was half hearted. It was a little frustrating as we had things booked from 4:30 so had very little time to relax. Also when we stored our bag in the lobby, we requested it back and a guy went off to get it, returned gave the ticket to a colleague and she put it down, not knowing we were stood there waiting for our bag. Communication was poor.
Breakfast again was beautiful, tasty, hot and lots of option.
Overall a really lovely stay but think the communication between staff could be improved to make things run a little smoother
The location and price for this hotel was great. You have a tube stop right across the street, Hyde park, two museums and great shopping all within walking distance. The road noise can be a little loud sometimes, so if you can get a room on a higher floor you might be better off. We also ate dinner 1 night at the Secret Garden restaurant in a dome. That was pretty cool and the food was pretty good. Fun experience
Everything was ‘ok’, location was great, right next to the tube station. Breakfast wasn’t up to the usual Hilton standard though, definitely room for improvement there.
