I stayed at this hotel and found it to be quite nice overall. The rooms were comfortable and spacious with a high ceiling, and I particularly enjoyed having a balcony. However, the lack of double glazed windows was a downside. The location was convenient, being close to an underground station and opposite a lovely park.

The location was perfect for exploring London, and the dining experience, although included in the rate, could use some improvement on the food temperature. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel boasts an air of grandeur with rooms featuring a pull-out sofa and tiny bathroom with an overhead shower. The location is central, with easy access to various attractions, but it lacks proximity to the Heathrow express. Service can be hit or miss, with some staff going above and beyond while others struggle to provide exceptional service. Overall, a luxurious stay with some room for improvement in service and dining offerings.

The hotel is in a prime location, right in the heart of the city near a beautiful park. The rooms are cozy with a delightful selection of complimentary toiletries and a very comfortable bed, although the bathroom's unusual shape may not be to everyone's taste. The service was exceptional, especially from the charming and helpful waiter. The dining experience was a bit lacking in warmth but had its moments. The facilities were top-notch with everything you need at your fingertips.
