The staff were really friendly and done their very best to make me feel welcomed.
Unfortunately, my overall experience was overshadowed by a serious incident. Someone from the hotel staff went through my personal belongings and stole a full carton of Marlboro Lights cigarettes from my room. This is a violation of trust that no guest should ever have to experience. When I reported the theft, management offered a “complimentary” £35 refund to my card. Not only does this not cover the value of what was stolen, it also shows a worrying lack of understanding about the severity of the situation. This wasn’t a minor inconvenience—this was a breach of security and a failure to protect a guest’s personal property.

Beautiful hotel in an excellent location, but the reason we'd stay here again? Easy answer - the staff. They were exceptional. Every single staff member we met. We were treated so kindly, like VIPs. We had our puppy with us, and he really was a VIP to the team. From our welcomes, to Chef organising a last-minute nut-free afternoon tea, to dinner in the bar, and the marvellous martinis, we had an exceptional stay. Thank you so much to every individual we met - you made it very special indeed.
The room was much smaller than anticipated, but that was OK, because it was beautiful, very clean and honestly, perfect.

Lovely aesthetic and very central location. Staff very helpful and go the extra mile (literally-giving us a running tour of the area).
Parts of room felt cramped and the lighting in the room was very dark.

The friendly, professional staff. They took particular effort to make every element of our stay, exceptionally special. It's a beautiful hotel, well-situated and felt like a very high quality place to stay in central London.
I found the red decor really elegant, but very red!
