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

The staff went out of their way to make me comfortable. I had requested a room with a view . When I arrived very late due to plane delays, there were no rooms with a view left. The next day, they informed me early that they would move me to a room with a view. I went to the National Galley of Art ( walking distance) and was in my new room when I returned. I had a wonderful lunch at 1212.

A nice hotel in a great location. Our room was large by London standards and nicely decorated, however the bathroom was in need of refurbishment, some of the grout missing on tiles and the shower door didn't close properly. It didn't spoil our enjoyment, but felt dated in relation to the room. The lobby and common areas are very nice, bar is good and the staff were helpful. We booked to eat in the restaurant there, and were disappointed. The service was poor, with a general feeling of 'Fawlty towers' about it. We were offered several peoples food, and generally it seemed like no one knew what they were doing. The food itself was ok though. Overall a comfortable hotel in a good location, but check out other dining options.

I must insist on saying that this hotel was the most fabulous exciting extra extraordinary. Beginning with the staff and how friendly and caring they were they are very attentive caring and loving I wanted to take them all home with me period especially the front desk hostess Sharon . And the management period they treated us like family and I could not Express to you how great that made us feel we are Americans this was my first trip to Europe I was completely blown away. I have a staff there accommodations the Tour of the hotel the complementary champagne. I couldn't have asked for more or they would have provided it for us we will return in May 2025 thank you so much for the opportunity to to express my gratitude and appreciation to the hotel and it's staff members God bless take care keep smile
