We got off to a rocky start and finish here. The reception is at a massive table that is really not conducive to dealing with the paperwork for check in. The check in process also seems unnecessarily long and complicated. Our room was quite small, but very nice and the bottle of fizz and chocolates was a nice touch. We had breakfast included with the room, which we had both mornings - the presentation of the little pastries is very beautiful… all seemed well until checkout. Honestly, the staff must already know they’re going to be in an argument, because they are defensive from the outset. We had ZERO incidentals, but I was presented with an £80 settlement figure to pay. When I asked for the details, they were strangely unable to print the bill AND refused to let me see their screen. I demanded a breakdown and they gave me explanations such as ‘room cleaning’ (which was never mentioned at any point) and £2 extra for ordering WATER at breakfast, because evidently water isn’t included (although also never mentioned). It was absolutely the most annoying, frustrating, deliberately misleading experience I have had at a hotel in a very long time. In the end, the woman at reception basically said - we have your card details, so we are charging you and we’ll email you the receipt… WHICH THEY STILL HAVE NOT DONE… from my September stay. It really left a bad taste and `I would absolutely not stay here again.

The location is great, the hotel itself is quiet and chic. The staff is always around to help and make reservations or get car services or wine late at night and super capable to handle any thing we needed at the last minute. Aisha at the front and Michal the concierge were super kind and helpful when it came to getting us reservations. This is my second time staying here recently and have become a huge fan of the hotel.

The hotel itself is very nice, clean, the rooms are well appointed. However, our bathroom was disappointingly small considering the type of room we booked. Staff at check-in was very friendly but did not follow through - we were supposed to receive a bottle of Prosecco which did not materialize, the request for late checkout was granted but not communicated to the staff member who was there the next day; breakfast was allegedly extra even so our reservation indicated breakfast was included. Having said that a fantastic staff member took care of us during checkout and rectified the situation.

Good location and very clean.
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The location is amazing, the breakfast is really good, their cleanliness is excellent, but some of their prices I think some of the rooms are not worth it. We paid for junior suite and they gave us a room in the top floor which didn’t have elevator for the last floor and also it felt like attic. Honestly I might go back to this hotel but only if they have good deals with the price I paid wouldn’t go back. But overall a nice and clean hotel with excellent location.
