This was such a great stay. Only there for one evening, but I loved every bit. I actually ate all my meals here instead of leaving the property for food. Do afternoon tea! It is absolutely an experience. So much fun. Dinner was phenomenal, as was breakfast. The staff is great. I will be back!

Very expensive to eat or use facilities in the hotel. Staff were good. Room was clean. Water and coffee in room. £10.50 for a small bottle of lager in the bar. They add on service charges to everything but then also add another huge service charge at the end of the stay

An absolutely gorgeous hotel. The staff were amazing & so helpful. I was able to have a slightly early check-in & was upgraded from a single to a double room free of charge. It's a short walk to Victoria station, Buckingham Palace & Hyde Park. I will definitely stay again.
