The hotel was beautiful and luxurious, although it did not correspond at all to the pictures on Booking. The rooms are small but comfortable, equipped with an ironing board for your convenience at business meetings. The service was very helpful and attentive, making us feel special and minimizing anxiety during a difficult time while maximizing our enjoyment of our short break. The location is excellent, close to Buckingham Palace and other key areas, perfect for exploring London. The dining experience was surprisingly excellent, and the facilities were well-equipped.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience of positives and negatives. The rooms were much larger than expected and impeccably clean, but the air conditioning system was a constant bother affecting our sleep. The service was exceptional with polite and friendly staff across all areas, yet the prices seemed quite high for the overall value. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious options, especially at the Indian restaurant, yet other options were limited. Overall, a good choice depending on your priorities.

The hotel had exquisite rooms decorated to the highest standards with the comfiest bed & pillows ever, though a bit small for the hotel's size, making breakfast chaotic at times. The location was conveniently close to major attractions, and the dining experience was excellent, offering a free breakfast in the room. The service was beyond pleasant, with staff going out of their way to make a special birthday celebration. Only downside was the dining not being worth the price.

The hotel had beautiful decor and a comfortable bed in the rooms, with the downside of only having a small double bed. The service was excellent, catering to our needs with special care, especially while traveling with our 2-year-old.

The dining experience was extremely good but had some delays in service. Facilities were top-notch, offering a pleasant stay overall.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location in Central London, offering easy access to various attractions in Westminster and keeping you in the heart of the city. The rooms are spacious and clean, but they might need some updating to provide a more modern and comfortable experience. The service is fantastic, with the reception crew being attentive to guests' needs, although there were some minor disturbances like late-night calls about settling the bill. The dining experience, while appreciated, can be a bit overpriced for what it offers. Overall, a good option for those looking for a great location and friendly service.

The hotel has its charm but shows signs of aging in some aspects. The rooms are clean and spacious, offering excellent closet space, reminiscent of its high-end past.

The hotel was super clean, but the room size was smaller than expected to the suite. The staff were all very friendly and really attentive without being overbearing, making sure everyone did their best to make our stay comfortable. The location was good as the courtyard, lobby, and first-floor areas made good impressions, with Victoria Station and tourist areas conveniently close by. The dining experience amazed us with a spread of items, including Indian food, but it could use a wider selection for gluten. Facilities were well-maintained with some great pubs nearby.
