I stayed at this hotel and found it to be quite nice overall. The rooms were comfortable and spacious with a high ceiling, and I particularly enjoyed having a balcony. However, the lack of double glazed windows was a downside. The location was convenient, being close to an underground station and opposite a lovely park.

The service at this hotel was a mix of experiences. While the NZ waiter was exceptionally charming and helpful, the receptionist I interacted with initially was not very helpful and seemed dismissive of my concerns. Overall, there were some positive interactions but also some negative ones.

The hotel boasts an air of grandeur with rooms featuring a pull-out sofa and tiny bathroom with an overhead shower. The location is central, with easy access to various attractions, but it lacks proximity to the Heathrow express. Service can be hit or miss, with some staff going above and beyond while others struggle to provide exceptional service. Overall, a luxurious stay with some room for improvement in service and dining offerings.

The hotel is in a prime location, right in the heart of the city near a beautiful park. The rooms are cozy with a delightful selection of complimentary toiletries and a very comfortable bed, although the bathroom's unusual shape may not be to everyone's taste.
