I booked a single room for a few days in London, the price was good. The room was fine but I felt I needed more space, so I paid for an upgrade and received a fantastic large executive room on the top floor with a great view. …

Great hotel with an excellent, helpful staff! Reasonably priced (for a major city) as well. The staff here are way above your average hotel. Very nice and will go out of their way to help you with luggage. They also helped arrange transportation for us to and from the airport.We stayed for 2 nights and it was a great stay. We were in a recently upgraded wing of the hotel. It was very nice, clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable. It was the best night's sleep I had during my 10 day vacation in Europe. The only thing I did not like about the room was the shower. It was an open concept shower without a shower door. It was too open though and lots of water leaked out on the floor.The breakfast was very good. It was buffet style with lots of options. Great coffee and tea.The location is unbeatable. Located in Westminster, in a relatively quiet area across from a park. It is walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops and also the big tourist attractions - Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.Highly recommend!

I recently stayed for two nights at this hotel, but unfortunately, it was far from the experience one would expect from a four-star establishment.The air conditioning in my room was not functioning, and despite my initial reluctance to disturb the front desk, the temperature in the room had dropped to 18°C, leaving me quite uncomfortable. My first call for assistance around 11 p.m. resulted in a promise to address the issue, yet no action was taken. By midnight, I called again, only to be told they needed to consult with a manager and would get back to me, but I received no follow-up. When I called a third time at approximately 12:20 a.m., they eventually brought up a portable radiator, which took an exceptionally long time to warm the room. Unfortunately, I developed a cold the following day.Overall, the level of service did not meet the standards expected from a four-star hotel and was certainly not worth the price. In future, I would hesitate to book a single room here again.

We have had a 5 star experience here! The bed, pillows and shower were luxurious, the level of service from the concierges was unexpected and top notch. The location opposite the park was excellent, it was quiet and it was easy to walk to the National Gallery, Harrods, and Westminster Cathedral to enjoy a service. We will be back! Highly recommended.

A key advantage of the hotel is it is situated at a location which is very walkable to the places of attractions such as Big Ben, Westminster palace, etc.It can be confusing to access the room or facilities for the first time as the hotel is kinda split into three wings and has a basement.A small gym is located in the basement. The hotel has a mushy smell and do note that there is a small flight or stairs at the front yard before leading to the lobby.

The location of this hotel is not very adjacent to the hot spots but is located in the cozy and quiet place where the next to the greeny pitch is. All staff are professional and friendly to visitors. I had requested to change the room for more space, and they quickly responded and shifted with proper room. Thanks for overall support during my stay, and I am willing to recommend this hotel all visitors to Lomdon.
