No tea bags, and no one to ask for any (even more reason to make sure everything in the room is in order if they operate with minimal staff).

Staff was lovely and helpful. They allowed me to check in a bit early, which was particularly kind as I found myself suddenly without a place to stay for the night. Room was clean and had everything I needed.

The hotel facilities were very good, and I was satisfied with my stay. The two gentlemen at the reception were extremely helpful and friendly throughout my visit. I would especially like to thank Mr. Loay for his kindness and support.

Upon arrival, the receptionist was very polite and it was so quick to check in. The room was ideal for a solo traveller staying for one night. The room, wardrobe and shower room / toilet was all very clean with no complaints. The location was exceptional being such a short walk to Hyde park, Harrods, public transport

4/10 Fair

Check in experience was really poor. I didn’t have my passport as I didn’t think I would need it to travel from Wales to England. We were eventually allowed to check in after 45 mins and speaking twice to customer services using my husbands driving license. We were not the only guests in this situation. An email from the hotel with check in procedures before arrival would have helped. We had booked a deluxe double room, described on the hotels website as having dressing gowns, tea and coffee making facilities ( we only had one cup and no dressing gowns) we also only had one hand towel. The room we were in was certainly not one of the rooms displayed on their website as a deluxe double room. It was a small double on the top floor. One of the pictures had fallen down, the position of the tv was not the best and there was no chair., I will say that the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is excellent.
