Very nice hotel in a great location. Staff not extraordinarily welcoming/friendly but competent. Amazing spa, but not value for money even at the luxury end of the market. Lots of hidden additional charges like a daily ‘service fee’ of £43. Which is a lot top of an already luxury price tag. Requests for gratuity on top of an already included service fee for food services.

Excellent service with “wil do attitude”. Great location in central London. Great value from included chauffeur service. Wonderful afternoon tea, and kitchen very good a pastries/sweets. Not so good if you’re a smoker, as smoking with the homeless in the street is the only option (unless you’re booked in one of the 5 most expensive suites that has balconies)

Amazing property. Especially with our first time visiting London this was the perfect place to stay. Facilities and rooms are unbeatable and I love how there’s bars and restaurants within the hotel for the days where you’re feeling a little jet-lagged. Staff is superb and always willing to help. Only snag was that I made sure to include breakfast for 3 people in our stay as we didn’t want to deal with the hassle of going out for breakfast every morning, but they somehow did not see that I paid for it. Had to go down and show proof that I paid for this, as I’d have no reason to lie about that… but once resolved staff was very apologetic and even left chocolates in the room. Overall, one of my favorite 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in and feels very modern and renovated. Would stay here again!

I love this hotel. We received a warm greeting from Von upon arrival. He remembered me from last year. It made me feel very special. I know how busy your hotel is. Von showed us all around the hotel, spa, and our room. He is such a professional and takes pride in the hotel and his work. Everything is always perfect from everyone. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for such a lovely stay.

The hotel was stunning with wonderful amenities, restaurants, and rooms. However I’m giving 4/5 stars as we ran into several issues checking in. We were not initially given the room we reserved. Later we were told we could upgrade to a better room for a fee - which we did. Then we had to wait 3+ hours to move into that room and were told not to unpack from our previous room - so we sat around for 3 hours waiting on our room to be ready and it kept getting delayed which ultimately made us late for reservations we had. When we moved into our ‘upgraded room’ it was the exact same room layout that we had just been in. The staff member in reception who coordinated all of this mislead us into believing we were being upgraded to a larger better room when in reality it was the same room with 2 beds. The entire situation was upsetting, stressful, and delayed us from plans we had made.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in London. The only glitch was that when checking in the desk failed to mention that I had received an upgraded room and when Hotels.com asked me I said no which resulted in a call from the manager who also sent me a bottle of Champagne. I loved the comfort and service of this hotel and will return.
