Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms with high-end finishes, although my double room felt a bit smaller. The rooms got too hot during the night, making it difficult to sleep properly. The service was friendly but overly attentive, needing some improvement in customer relations. The dining experience was sublime, perfect for a lazy weekend morning, but the timing didn’t suit my departure schedule. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's facilities were great, with no specific details given.
The hotel offers cozy rooms with great amenities, a lovely ambiance, and very attentive staff. The location is conveniently close to landmarks, bars, and restaurants. However, some service interactions were not as expected.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and very quiet, with great amenities. The service was exceptional, with staff always looking out for my wellbeing and going above and beyond to help. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and in a lovely quiet area with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was a highlight on lazy weekend mornings with a fantastic selection. Overall, a fantastic choice for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The hotel was a bit warm, and the rooms took some time to be ready, but considering it was fully booked and I had only booked a few days before, it was understandable. The room was compact. The service was somewhat inattentive and slow, although they tried to be friendly. The location was not ideal for accessing the tube or trains, but it was excellent for Southbank or Borough market. The dining experience was delicious but a bit chaotic at times. Overall, a decent stay with some minor inconveniences.
I had such a great time at this hotel! The rooms were modern with everything I needed in the right place, but I wish I had a better view. The service was top-notch, although check-in took a bit longer due to the staff in grey blazers. The location is fantastic, close to unique shops and restaurants, and within walking distance of many of London's iconic attractions. The dining experience was good but could use more fresh vegetable options. Overall, it was a stay worth considering as a cheaper alternative to the West End.
The hotel is situated in a lovely quiet area with easy tube links to the center. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with amenities, but the self-service dining experience could be more in line with a 5-star hotel. The location is excellent for exploring various parts of London, and the hotel offers a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
My stay at this hotel was delightful. The rooms are perfect, very clean, and conveniently equipped with a refrigerator and a minibar. The location is ideal, close to Borough market, Tower Bridge, and public transportation. The cute fox-themed blankets with cuddly bears were a lovely touch for the kids. However, the dining experience was not worth the price, and the location is a little out of the way.
The hotel is situated in a prime location with various attractions nearby. The rooms are decent, though not exceptional for the price, and adequately catered to our needs. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, going the extra mile to enhance our stay. The dining options are diverse and impressive, with standout dishes worth returning for. The overall experience is marked by its excellent location and welcoming service, though room quality could be improved for the price.
The hotel is extremely modern and spacious, but the rooms appeared tired-looking and not as clean as expected. The service was a mixed bag, with Miss Chris Yousif providing excellent help during check-in, while some staff members were rude when handling complaints. The location is good for local bars and restaurants, as well as being a short walk from popular attractions, but it could be inconvenient to walk alone at night. The price seemed fair for the value offered. The facilities were described as brilliant, although there was an inconvenience with a fire alarm after a night out.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were comfortable and filled with useful facilities like an iron and hairdryer, but the early morning noise from the cleaning cupboard was a bit of a nuisance. The service was outstanding, with the staff being incredibly kind and accommodating. The location was perfect for exploring various areas in the city, although the room's duvet and pillows made me feel a bit suffocated. The dining experience was exceptional with a great selection, and the facilities were top-notch.
