We arrived on Saturday to find that the hotel was closed for refurbishment. |We had booked this hotel months in advance as we were going to Hyde Park to see Take That. …

We booked early to be prepared as we have tickets to Bst. The hotel cancelled our booking four days before travel with no explanation and to top it off the refund takes 5 to 7 days! Left us in a pickle finding other accommodation at such short notice and at a very busy time in London!
