    Our room was upgraded from the basic so it was spacious and no bed pushed up against a wall which I fear might have been the case with the couchette room.

    The location can't be beat, for access to all kinds of transport to wherever you go next, and also in the middle of many great neighborhoods to explore easily on foot. Also loved the luxurious bathrobe and slippers, and the pantry for tea any time of day! Everything is compact, but there is everything you need. We loved staying here and will stay again in the future. Staff was also incredibly kind and helpful. It was shocking how quiet it was in the room given the surrounding noise.

    There was a slight wait for the room although we did inform the hotel of the time we would be checking in. Others have mentioned the lack of tea making facilities in the room and the size of the room was a little on the small size for what I was expecting and the price. The water pressure in the room wasn't great but we were on the top floor. The breakfast was nice but felt overpriced (£70 for two without cereal) though some of the price may be due to the surroundings which were beautiful. Unfortunately the stay was impacted by a particularly unfortunate interaction with a staff member when returning to the hotel in the evening after an event we attended. He was leaving the hotel as I was scanning my card to enter and blocked the door, not allowing us entry and questioned me, wanting to see proof we were staying at the hotel. Even though I showed him my room card he said he wouldn't hold the door for me and closed it on me. I pointed out that I would've let myself in if he hadn't been coming out at that moment. I wonder if my appearance had been different if he would have held the door for me. I've never had this type of interaction at any other hotel I've stayed, luxury or otherwise so it was upsetting. Needless to say we didn't have breakfast in the hotel the following morning. The staff during the rest of the stay were perfectly friendly so this was a sad end to an otherwise nice two night stay.

    Upon arrival we were informed our suite had been upgraded, which was a lovely surprise and the staff were very welcoming. The decor in the hotel was beautiful, particularly in the bar and restaurant. The history of the hotel was partly why we booked it. We had access to a pantry with some cakes and hot drink making facilities, which was a nice touch. The views from our floor and our room were wonderful and the location was very central. The room itself was comfortable, with a good mattress and the addition of bathrobes and slippers. The small decorative touches in the room were in keeping with the overall aesthetic of the hotel. ordered room service during our stay which was efficient.

    Cereal selection was poor for breakfast - on the second day there were no cornflakes and I was releagted to Bran Flakes. Cereal & Juice is also by waiter service, whereas my preference for these item is buffet selection.

    A comfy room, curteous service and perfect location for headsing to Europe. The breakfast takeaway pack on the last day was excellent and gave me a great early start.

    Like nearly all hotels we’ve stayed in there was a lack of table area so one suitcase stayed on floor. Also bathroom although extremely nice had no areas to put your own spongebags and toiletries. Also clean clothes after your shower had to be dropped on the floor as there was nowhere to store them actually in the bathroom.

    Very clean. Very efficiently run. The room was clean and bed was comfortable.
