Everything was exceptional. The cleanest hotel we have ever seen. The breakfast was to die for. The staff, doorman, reception, food & beverages, all of them were extremely friendly, professional & helpful.
Nothing.

Our experience at this hotel was outstanding. The location is perfect, within easy reach of everything. The staff deliver service that is both warm and highly professional. The food is consistently excellent, and the rooms are spacious, nicely decorated and beautifully maintained. The exclusive, personalised service made our stay unforgettable. We will definitely return.

Situation and staff were super
We were hit with a service charge which although in the end it was positioned as optional it didn’t really feel optional for almost £60.00 seems to be for service room charge that was disappointing for a 5 star hotel to do that rather than have that includes in the full upfront cost that you pay when booking. I’ve never had that at any other hotel so I’m not really happy about that.

Everything at the hotel was excellent quality. The staff were incredible and very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much bother. We loved the room being turned down each night with slippers, water and face cream. Bar Prince had a great vibe. Breakfast was great quality produce. Palm court was DIVINE! Fabulous!!! The concierge met us from the train station. He was super helpful and professional.
