Good location
Good location for the royal Albert hall. Stay was let down by house keeping, didn’t service the room at a normal time, turned up at 4:30 pm when we were getting ready to head out. At check out they tried to Add an additional £25 service charge (advised it’s for the staff) which we didn’t pay as we hadn’t received any.

A pity the reception staff immediately diagnosed why our safe wasn’t working - nobody bothered to arrange to fix (reset) it.

The suites are stunning and well appointed. Only issue in the room is that it took ten minutes for the hot weather in the shower to come through We felt the breakfast was ok but expensive The cocktail bare was excellent as were the staff who go out of their way to help you

A mixed bag.
The staff were excellent, however I wasn’t aware that there would be a £25 per night accommodation service charge until I checked in. I’ve never heard of this in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Also a service charge of £10 on the ‘free’ breakfast. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom plumbing questionable. The restaurant was very good and location was excellent for the Royal Albert Hall.

Classic hotel with charm, underutilised potential. Not generous with advertised ‘VIP’ benefits. Hotel was not at all full. No upgrades. Have to ask for other perks. Serious price drops 48hours before date. Some great staff members. With managed expectations we would stay there again.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was just a short walk to the train station or many wonderful restaurants. The bed was confortable and the staff was helpful and very friendly. Even the house Keeping staff was spot on. The little extra things they did to make our stay wonderful was much appreciated. We loved the little pub downstairs too!

Booked a junior suite which was described as having an extra long bed; I am 5ft 6 and my feet were touching the end. Room was small and very old fashioned; particularly the throne style toilet. Just not to my taste. Also very hot and could not get food at the hotel so ended up having to order a takeaway.

Too expensive for no heat
It was. Mediocre, the hotel was gorgeous. It was beautiful and the staff were lovely however it was all ruined with our room. We were upgraded to a delux double which was nice. However the heater didnt work and the aircon unit we had built into the window which said it had a heat setting also didnt work so we were absolutely freezing cold the entire time. We paid an extortionate amount of money to freeze and on top of that pay an extra accomidation fee when we left? We didnt use any of their extra accommodations. Only the room and it was barely livable due to how cold it was
