    Pros +

    • Location is good.
    • Location, bed, linens, armchairs
    • exceptional service and staff, very clean and perfectly situated

    Cons -

    • Bathroom is very small. Even that’s fine but it leaked a bad sewage smell, maybe leaking pipe ?. My bed was a few feet away and I could smell the bathroom all the nights even with door closed. I complained to the staff but they were not attentive.
    • Bathroom was so small and the bath tub needs a better enclosure. It's impossible to shower without wetting the floor.
    • our initial room wasn't great (obstructed views) so they switched us out after 2 days.

    The staff was great! From the doorman to the cleaners, the entire staff.

    The size of the room is small but that is to be expected in London.

    Perfect location. Walking distance to Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Swuare Westminster Abbey, Parliament and Big Ben,

    Staff was great and the location was great for access to many tourist attractions and the Green Park Underground station is just around the corner.

    Central and car park close by

    Restaurant very poor

    10TopcookyPosted on: 2-20-2026

    We had a room upgrade and the seating area of the Junior Suite made the whole experience much more comfortable

    The cost. The adding of the service charge on at the bill at the end without telling us how much it was.

    8ElizabethPosted on: 2-18-2026

    Beautifully decorated and ideally located

    Rooms are very small

    8SallamPosted on: 1-30-2026

    The cleaned up the room twice a day. It was spotless. Thank you. Room 511

    The air conditioning , I think needs some maintenance/ cleaning.

    9coraliePosted on: 1-20-2026

    amazing location, close to everything and still very quiet and peacefuldelicious breakfast in a cosy roombedroom not big but absolutely well thought with a very nice bathroom with amazing products from Penhaligon's(little remark: a little difficult not to put water on the floor when showering in the bath, this could be optimized)perfect service and very very nice team at the reception and the restaurant, even speaking French very well

    nothing really(maybe please optimize in the bath so that we do not shower out of the bath)

    First of all, let me say that the hotel staff were perhaps the best I have ever met. They were all very attentive and helpful, and I thank them all very much.However, before coming to this hotel, you should know that you shouldn't expect a large 5-star hotel. It's a small, elegant boutique hotel. On the first day, the room they gave us as a deluxe room was on the lobby floor, and the bathroom was so small that it was impossible for two people to move around at the same time. When I said I didn't like the room at all, they said they could change it the next day, and I thank them for that. The room they gave us was also small, but definitely not as small.On the last day, the heating system in that room broke down, and since it was after 8 PM, they couldn't fix it; they only gave us a radiator. Then we managed somehow.The hotel has only one elevator, and it's incredibly old; I was very afraid it would break down every time. If you are looking for a small, clean boutique hotel, this is very suitable for you, but if you are looking for a beautiful 5-star hotel in Mayfair, this is definitely not the place.

    Very old

    location.

    Hotel needs maintenance. Carpets dirty. Wall paper peeling in places. Curtain falling off rail.

    9MarissaPosted on: 1-4-2026

    Incredible location! Incredible staff.

    Slightly expensive continental breakfast that we didn’t know wasn’t included upon arrival.

    9SimonePosted on: 1-2-2026

    Location was perfect, old world charm; sophisticated but comfortable, wonderful doormen and reception staff

    Suite in as beautiful but bathroom was tight
