Really a lovely stay. The rooms are very well appointed. Every need accommodated. The room seem to have been recently refurbished. The only negative is if you end up with an interior view room. Dark with opposite walls close enough to touch. However being a listed building there aren't many options. Still it is a lovely hotel!

The Hotel is quite well located, walking distance (5 minutes or less) from: Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and Theatreland, Leicester Square, St James's Park, Parliament Square, London Eye, as well as Embankment and Charing Cross Tube Station. The WiFi is free, they have VERY good food which is not a common things in London hotels. The fish and chips, the... More

Great service and a beautiful hotel in the heart of London. Across the street from Scotland Yard, across the river from the London Eye, and just a short walk to Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, and the theatre district. If you fly into Gatwick I recommend taking the express train to Victoria Station. It's a 30 minute commute running every 15... More

Stayed for two nights on the occasion of my graduation ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall (which is a short walk away). From the moment we entered the hotel we were made to feel valued customers. We had booked a deluxe double room - on checking in I asked if it was possible to have a room with a view... More

My husband and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon. As it was a special occasion, we paid a lot more for the room than we would normally pay. We did inform the hotel that it was our honeymoon and on arrival we received a complimentary bowl of strawberries dipped in chocolate. Our room had a view of the... More

We decided on a last minute trip to London and picked this hotel for its location and, being near Embankment station it was great for going further away too. The building is beautiful and the décor is modern and stylish. We booked a double room to include breakfast at a good price (note to self, don't book a room with... More

I got a splendid room, I requested a quiet room and got one. The ambience is lovely and the location is excellent. Overall this is a great hotel, centrally located, so you can walk pretty much anywhere in the West End. The whole presentation is great. I got the hotel from Lastminute so it was £160. Not sure I would... More

First I was given a room in the remote corner of the hotel that had I not had a bellperson with me, I could never have found on my own - you have to go through so many fire doors, and then an unmarked door which leads to two rooms, one of which was mine and it was tiny but... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times and it is one of the best in London. It is luxurious and the staff are super. We were in London as my husband was on a course, unfortunately work wouldn't pay for us to stay here for the 5 nights! I had had the pleasure of having afternoon tea here before... More
