Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was exquisite and elegant, making me feel like royalty with all the charm I would expect. However, there are other 5-star hotels that offer better service and quality of updated rooms.
The hotel offers beautifully decorated rooms with lovely furnishings and all the expected amenities, though lacking tea and coffee facilities. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, with a notable breakfast service. The location is excellent, overlooking Green Park, yet the dining experience falls short. Overall, the hotel caters to a high-end market but is marred by strong paint fumes.
The hotel offers a calming atmosphere with unique touches like bookmarks on the pillows, though the rooms may need a makeover. The service is exceptional, but some delays were experienced. The location is prime with top attractions within walking distance. The dining is delightful with a warm welcome every morning. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room improvements needed.
Staying in a room this spacious in central London full of beautiful Christmas decorations was truly a luxury. The cost of this room was a bit high, but the experience was worth it.
