Responsiveness regarding plumbing of the bath tub

Wonderful
The junior suite we had was large and comfortable (though there was enough room for a sofa there were only two chairs). The bathroom was great - especially the shower. Excellent location close to the Tube (Central (red) line). The staff were very helpful and friendly. The spa (though not as luxurious as other Rosewood properties I’ve stayed at) was very good.
Although better than most English or Irish hotels I’ve stayed at, the breakfast was disappointing.
Though we got a good rate on Booking.com the room was still expensive - coming in at $875/night including breakfast for two. Of course a spacious room in a nice part of central London is going to be expensive, but it was still a bit shocking

I loved the location and the food was excellent.
The bathroom vanity was not to my liking.

The location is superb, walking distance to British Museum and Covert Garden. The historic building of the hotel is good. Service is acceptable.
Nothing impressive. Could have other options in the same area with simliar service at a better price

Unfortunately, our stay at Rosewood turned into an extremely disappointing and distressing experience. We booked a seven-night stay from 14–21 July, and on 19 July we found a cockroach on the table inside our bedroom. We also found a spider inside the closet, in my sister’s dress. Finding insects inside our room and among our personal belongings was extremely upsetting and left us feeling very uncomfortable staying in the room (see attached photos for evidence and video posted on my tiktok: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZN8Na3apL/).
We immediately raised the issue with the concierge team. A manager named "Tom" told us that he would take care of the situation, so we expected the matter to be handled seriously and appropriately. However, the follow-up we received was simply an email suggesting that the insects could have come from outside. We found this response very disappointing and felt that our concerns and the distress caused to our family were being dismissed rather than properly addressed.
For a hotel of Rosewood London’s reputation and standard, we expected much better—not only in terms of room cleanliness, but also in the way such a serious guest concern was handled. We should have been compensated from experiencing this kind of situation during our vacation, at the hotel we paid £11,027 in total for. My family and I have always been huge fans of the Rosewood brand, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, we left feeling that we had been treated unfairly and that our concerns were not given the level of care they deserved.

This is a beautiful hotel, very elegant. The staff is nice and tried to help with multiple issues with our room. The breakfast on the first 3 days of our stay had a wide array of choices so we were always able to find something to our liking. On the last day the buffet was no longer available. It's offered seasonally. We really appreciated the tub/shower combination in our room. After walking for hours, it was wonderful to soak in the bath. The tub was rather high off the ground and may have been challenging for some to get in and out of. This wasn't a problem for us.
We wouldn't stay here again. We selected a larger room and it was beautifully appointed but didn't function well for us. The room had tall ceilings and very little lighting and as we were up early in the morning (for four days) and returned after dark, it felt like a cave to us. The bathroom was nice but poorly lit so it was hard to see in there (even with the addition of my own lit makeup mirror). The worst thing about the room was the low bed and quality of the mattress. It was clearly past its better days. We did ask if they could do anything to make the mattress less soft and we think they attempted something as it felt slightly different and when we asked for better lighting they put in brighter bulbs. We appreciated their efforts but when you're paying over $3,000 for a 4 night stay, you expect better. We will be traveling for almost a month on this trip. We arrived at our next hotel, no issues at all. This only confirmed that our room at the Rosewood was difficult. Lovely but difficult. We always read reviews before we book and we're writing this review so that if someone needs good lighting and a quality mattress, they'll know what to expect.

The hotel is huge,l and the elevators are only located on one side, so some rooms are very far away and the layout can be confusing. Some rooms and bathrooms are quite old, with noticeable plumbing/noise issues.
Cleanliness was my main concern. I was given two different rooms that had hair on the bed, and the first also had food left on it. I was eventually upgraded, which I appreciated.
I also had a payment issue after extending my stay, as I was charged twice. Overall, the hotel is okay but definitely not worth the money.

great location with privacy and quiet neighborhood. very helpful and polite staff. walking distance to many attractions. excellent variety of open buffet breakfast menu. tube station close by. very clean rooms and whole hotel. beautiful building with historical details.
bath tub height from floor was so high. it was very difficult to get in and out. which may cause accidents.
our room a/c fan was sooo loud, we needed to turn off at night during very hot weather which was uncomfortable.
