"Excellent Accommodation - Worth Every Penny!"

The hotel provides excellent facilities. The staff go beyond what is required of them to ensure that we have the necessary comforts. Great location; in the theatre district and with plenty of dinning options. Right next door to Charing Cross Railway Station and Metro. I would definitely stay at this hotel again!

"Nice place"

Would book again as it was the perfect location for seeing a show in Dury Lane. This is only a personal preference but having a harder pillow option would have been nice as I sleep with a memory foam one at home so found the pillows far too soft for me. Also it would have been nice to have more milk and coffee sachets in the room rather than having to request more (which wasnt a problem at all). The staff were lovely, helpful, polite and smartly dressed. The hotel itself was beautiful and clean.

"Couldn`t have been better"

We were upgraded due to the fact that I am pregnant and it was our last break away before the baby. The comfiest bed I`ve ever stayed in, room was huge and room service was yummy! Loved the nespresso machine and snacks in the mini bar. Best hotel Ive stayed in in London.

"Perfectly situated close to many amenities. Extremely helpful staff."

Both taxi rank and red bus services outside the Hotel door. The best thing for me is the wonderful staff in the resturant and also on reception.

"Perfect central location. Excellent facilities."

This recently renovated hotel combines modern facilities in a sympathetically restored elegant building. Perfect location for West End and central London. Without exception the staff are helpful and friendly. Rooms are well appointed, have good facilities and although some reviews have commented that some rooms are small, they are no smaller than comparable hotels in central London and are completely ideal for a short visit.

"Mixed quality"

For a 4 star nothing special. We were in Executive double which was OK but nothing special just slightly better than Premier Inn. A couple of beers and water from the mini-bar are not worth the price difference. Three coffee capsules between two people is mean. The Amba lounge service on the second day was dis-attentive at best for us and others. Generally pleasant stay with front of house & general staff helpful and friendly. Only basic toiletries in bathroom. Having stayed in many !00s of hotels across the world this one will not be memorable other than over star`d.

"Best hotel I`ve ever stayed in"

I brought my nana to this hotel and she was a bit worried as she had stayed hear a few years ago and hadn`t liked it. However we we both absolutely blown away by how beautiful this hotel was. The staff were so attentive and from walking into the reception couldn`t do enough for you. The rooms were beautiful with a fantastic bathroom and comfortable beds. Free mini bar and affordable delicious room service. Quite honestly couldn`t praise this hotel enough.

"Beautiful hotel, accommodating staff, fantastic location, the comfiest beds!"

From the moment we arrived we were treated like their most important guests ever. We had booked 2 twin rooms one with disabled access and thoughtfully so that both rooms were on the same floor we were given a free upgrade to a junior suite - without asking! I cannot praise the staff highly enough and the fuss they made of my elderly mother who was celebrating her 83 rd birthday. The disabled suite was beautifully done and although had all the aids required did not feel at all institutionalised. Highly recommended.

"Excellent hotel"

Stayed in a few round the world and they could take a leaf out of this hotels book. It`s always the little things that nag. But the nespresso free unlimited wifi and a tablet full of info and working was a great touch. Certainly be back.
