    • The staff go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. I felt like King, and not just because we were so close to Buckingham Palace. I cannot say enough great things about this hotel, it's staff and comfortable bed!

    Little bit of luxury in central London. Shristi made us feel so welcome, as did Joe and all the other members of staff. We loved our stay!

    10StelyanPosted on: 2-23-2026

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the level of service throughout my visit was truly exceptional.A special thank you to Alicja at the front desk, who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable by arranging the unique Henry VIII room for me. Her kindness and professionalism made a real difference.I was genuinely impressed by both the fantastic location and the outstanding staff. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly return.

    10EmmaPosted on: 2-19-2026

    All the staff we interacted with were absolutely incredible, so welcoming and happy to help in any way possible. The room was lovely and completely exceeded our expectations we even had a birthday cake surprise waiting for us in the room which was such a special touch

    5StephaniePosted on: 2-16-2026

    It’s a beautiful traditional hotel but rooms are hit or miss out first room had the smallest double bed I have ever seen, we were moved to a horrible room with lethal steps into a tiny bathroom so dingy for £210 a night it was awful.Eventually we got a decent room but what a farce.

    The rooms & some of the staff

    Charming, very helpful and friendly staff, great location!

    The rickety elevator

    9BlayPosted on: 2-13-2026

    From the moment we arrived in a cab, the doorman, reception and concierge team were excellent! Restaurant team and food like wise.

    Our room had little natural daylight as it was facing a courtyard plus some scaffolding obscuring the windows. The room didn't get warm easily, we reported this but on our return that day was no better..it was a bit nippy..

    10HeatherPosted on: 2-7-2026

    Location of the hotel was excellent and every member of staff went above and beyond I have never had such amazing customer service. Bar was lovely as were the bar staff. We had food in the Bar and Grill one of the evenings and the staff again were above and beyond.

    Hotel and staff were fantastic if I had to say 1 thing it would be that the food in the Bar and grill was not as good as I was expecting.

    Comfortable bed

    No live entertainment as advertised and that is why we went up there in the first place

    7JackiePosted on: 2-5-2026

    Great staff and location. Nice bed and bedlinen.

    Room smelled a bit dank. Windows didn’t open to air the room. Looked out on very dingy courtyard. Bathroom tired and bath very small.

    10O'neillPosted on: 2-5-2026

    Beautiful location, beautiful building, amazing staff, perfect hospitality. The entire team went out of their way to welcome us with a smile and look after us.

    The TV's in the room could do with a bit of an update. Sky TV was intermittent. But this is so minor it barely registered.
