This review is for their afternoon tea.I attended their special Halloween Afternoon Tea in October last year (sorry, forgot to review at the time), and was very impressed.The setting was lovely, a quiet and plushy comfortable area off the lobby. The staff were great - very welcoming and really looked after us.And the food? Amazing. Their pastry chef is very creative and talented!We both really enjoyed a delightful and memorable afternoon, and were recently talking about how much we wanted to go back.

The service was beyond my expectations I am so amazed of the services and the hospitality. All my inquiries and requests were immediately answered. Rooms are super cleaned. All is amazing about this hotel except the size of the room was too small even for solo traveller i would recommend to book an executive room or the suite. Location is definitely perfect.

We had booked an afternoon tea for 3 adults and 1 baby. The ladies at the service were very polite and helpful and the location of the hotel is amazing. However, the hotel offered no treat for our baby or any refill of sandwiches despite our request. We have tried afternoon tea in pretty much most of the hotels in London and this is the first time that they did not offer a refill. We are also not sure why the afternoon tea area is squeezed at the back of the reception instead of the first floor which offers amazing views over the park. Service was quite slow and the price very expensive for the limited food. We might come back for the location, but not for the tea.

Excellent hotel, perfect location, nice atmosphere, room is little smallish but acceptable .service is good but it could be better, you get to wait a long time until someone attends to your call.Worst part is the food, in room dining and breakfast buffet have very limited options, and food was tasteless.
