We stayed here at the end of our trip and wished we had gotten to stay here longer. Place was beautiful, staff super nice and breakfast was outstanding. We had a little hiccup with our TV and the guy helping us was very professional. He had to come back 3 times but fixed the problem and then the hotel made it right by comping our breakfast. Made us feel like they really were apologetic towards our mishap. Would definitely stay here again when back in town. Everything was great.

This hotel is a new discovery for us and we are thrilled with it! So much so, we cancelled another reservation to extend our stay here. Beautiful, elegant with high end service and a wonderful staff who have an eye for details. This is a great hotel. We can’t wait to return.

Very modern almost to excess. Video menu was not the same as the actual in restaurant menu (Monkfish was listed on digital but not offered in the restaurant. This was disappointing.) But overall the experience was restful.

The original room booked was quite small for the price paid, however I did upgrade to the largest room option, which was large enough, and the hotel did reduce the normal upgrade fee because I was a VIP guest. The hotel itself was really nice, clean and nicely decorated, the facilities were very good, and the staff were very helpful and professional.

Small, welcoming. A little birthday treat was waiting for me in the room. The room was slightly smaller than expected and dark without lights on and curtains open, but to be honest we were hardly there - just to sleep. Loved that the complimentary milk for the tea and coffee, was in a glass bottle in the mini bar fridge. Much better that the UHT milk you get in the little pods! Perfectly located - very near to St James's Park tube and not too far from Victoria Station. And every where we wanted to go to was within walking distance. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very quiet.
