Location
Breakfast was disorganised. Staff were not monitoring the area and being proactive. No plates available. Food items on the buffet had run out and took a long time to replace. The room was ok but nothing special to warrant the £480 per night stay. Disappointed

Hotel is in a great location. Short walk for everything from The London Eye to Theatre land, Houses of Parliament to Soho and literaly 50m from Trafalger Square. Nearby Westminster Pier gives numerous options for travelling on the river. My experience showed this to be cheaper , more convenenient and pleasurable than the alternatives.
The high ceilings and marble covered walls provide a very impressive entrance and bar/dining area giving the impression of a high end hotel. My room was quite large but decor was underwhelming. However, the bed and especially the pillows were amongst the best. The bathroom was dissapointing and use of a shower curtain in place of a sliding screen was a definate negative. Staff were, mostly, polite and efficient. However, I had the impression that the focus was on corporate clients. £2000 for a 5 night stay is certainly in keeping with similiar hotels in the area. In fact lower than many. Hard to define how great hospitality lifts your stay to something special. Sadly in this case it wasn't provided

Location, staff were excellent.
The bed was a little soft, but they did put a board under the mattress to try and help.

The location is right beside Trafalgar Square and Embankment metro station, making it good for both travelling by foot to the many places to see around the area or using the Tube for travelling to other parts of the city. The check in and check out was handy. Staff very polite and helpful. Room was fine, spent most of the time outside. We got the Queen Room which was not huge but had what we needed (clean, comfy bed, nice bathroom). Free water machine in the corridor with cups so didn't need to buy bottles of water for the room.

Very comfortable bed and fantastic location.
Aircon was far too noisy right behind the bed head. No reply from reception and room service to get milk for tea.

Poor
- nice they have a living room with free tea and coffee - they tried to accommodate my need for a harder bed - water and ice on every floor (nice touch)
- beds are way too small and soft - beds literally moved every time you turned over - reception is chaotic - no chairs in lobby area - rooms were dated and need modernization - breakfast staff were unwelcoming - ordered a coffee and didn’t even get a saucer (4 star hotel ?)

Excellent location, absolutely lovely front of house
A few things in the room were a little bit dated, view from the window in the room wasn't good, breakfast seemed to suffer from a lack of staff, clearing tables, replacing depleted items on the buffet, the Sunday staff were unwelcoming

The bed was comfortable and good TV service with streaming available.
It felt detached. More like a building with rooms but not connected. Having to pay a holding charge when it’s not advertised before booking.

I thought the location was good. I was disappointed with my room, when you pay that much money I don’t expect to walk into a “Premier inn “ standard room. I thought that the breakfast was very good and of an excellent standard. The quality of the hot and cold was spot on. I was disappointed with the apparent lack of reception, when I booked The Grand, I expected something grand and welcoming for the money paid, it was a present for my wife, along with a show and dinner, the latter two didn’t disappoint…….
