Amazing staff and location!
Staff could not have been nicer or more professional-from check in to concierge to restaurant staff. Location was wonderful. Hotel had limited amenities but London was right aside the door! View from rooftop bar was amazing… food not so much.

Great location.
I had to mark the hotel down for "Comfort" but only because of the refurbishment works being carried on around the lift area. A terrific location for theatre land. The staff in the lobby were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

I will choose this hotel again when I travel to London. The location is amazing but the staff is truly a gem. They are very helpful and nice. Rooms are beautifully decorated and I loved the bathropes and sheets. Right in front of Trafalgar Square, you can go everywhere from there. The only thing I would improve is breakfast. Thanks for the last three days. I will visit you again. PS: even though the hotel was under renovations the staff did everything to make our stay the best.

Hospitality was non-existent, especially when there was a problem with our room. The building next door was under construction, so we woke up to a jackhammer every morning except Sunday. The hotel itself was also under construction, so there was no restaurant, just a small rooftop bar. When we informed the manager about the issues with the two rooms we booked on the day we checked in, he said he would investigate but never called back. We had contacted the hotel prior to our stay about our preferences, but they had no record of it when we arrived. The concierge never followed through with our request to book a car for an early morning tour to Paris, so we had to arrange it ourselves at 4:00 am. After that, we did not go to him for anything else. The doorman was wonderful, and housekeeping was satisfactory. However, the grout in the bathroom floor tile and shower tile was very dirty. When checking out, a man had arranged for his bag to be downstairs so he could catch his train, but the woman working would not help him. Eventually, the bellhop who had brought the bag came and took it out of the cabinet right behind her, which she had refused to check. Even without the noise, construction, and lack of amenities, I would never stay at this hotel again as the lobby staff and managers are disingenuous and unwilling to help when a problem arises. We would have booked another hotel the day we checked in, but the Taylor Swift tour made this impossible.
