This is a wonderful hotel. Brilliant location, great rooms, (though somewhat cozy but it’s London!) fabulous bar and reception area, and even has a pool, sauna and steam room!
The staff are exceptional, always friendly and on hand to help.

Love It!
My second time staying here and it won't be my last. Absolutely love the rooms, the club areas, the location itself, and the hospitality of everyone who works there. It feels upscale and attentive without being stuffy. Super convenient to tourist areas, but also easy to relax in the area and feel at home. Definitely a home-away-from-home for me when I'm in London. The vibe is somehow both hip and unpretentious, and just really makes me feel at home. Can't wait for my next visit!
