Not sure why or how we had VIP - we didn’t receive any of the perks. I think the classic rooms are over looked on the type of service you’ll receive. Not complaining it was an excellent experience.

Beautiful hotel and great staff! Is also located next to a shopping mall with a few food options, and within a 5 minute walk to Victoria Station. Honestly, the only complaint I have would be their price on laundry. I was planning on doing laundry while there (I had a 9 day trip to London and Edinburgh) because it was my last stay before heading back, and I noticed on their website it advertised laundry. It wasn't a lie. They offer laundry services, but the prices are astronomical. They wanted (and I clarified) 6GBP PER PAIR of SOCKS! A shirt was 13GBP. I didn't think that too terrible. But hey! That was my only complaint. Also, there's a 15 GBP / day service charge. I don't recall seeing that advertised anywhere, but I could have missed it.
