    Friendliness of staff, great breakfast, location, views across the Thames. The room size was just right. Nice touch with hiding the coats and shoes behind a curtain. Staff, in particular, were courteous. Looking forward to our next stay in June!

    Lovely place to stay but not for me.

    There is no doubt that the hotel has a 5 Star feel it and it is a very nice place to stay. Having staid in other 5 star hotels I would not say that the breakfast was 5 Star. A lot of happy staff and very good quality food just no where near the amount of choice other Hotels have. I would expect more choice of freshly cooked food from a menu yogurts and nuts for example. Plus my normal bug bear with any hotel, nothing on draft at the bar. I appreciate that they can mark up a bottle of beer by 500%, but in my opinion that’s no reason not to offer an alternative on draft.

    The hotel is in a great location, being a few minute’s walk to the Thames Link, and a lot of London attractions are very walkable. The hotel is very clean and has quite a funky feel to it, for want of a better word, with reception like the bow of a ship and the colourful trendy décor. All the staff bar none are happy and willing to help. Extremely clean and well appointed room and bathroom and the roof top bar is a very nice space with again very friendly staff.

    Despite alot of children staying at hotel & a fabulous rooftop bar, kids were not allowed in even when accompanied by an adult which was disappointing as the views were great!

    Great hotel, location and fantastic breakfasts. Watch out for sneaky extra charges on your bill!

    It is pricey and when we checked out the invoice showed an ‘accommodation service charge’ which was £12.49 on the first day and £13.13 on the second day. I’m not sure what this was for as we left the ‘do not disturb’ sign on our door so no cleaning was carried out.

    The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring London, we especially love South Bank so it couldn’t be better placed! The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, amazingly clean and the staff are always friendly and professional. The rooms are fantastic and one of the things we noticed (and loved) were how quiet the rooms were, the soundproofing is brilliant; I don’t think we heard any other guests! The breakfasts are amazing with a massive choice of food all done to an exceptional level. It is pricey but you get what you pay for. This was our third visit and we’ll definitely return soon, we just need to save up a bit first!

    Breakfast was lovely, but the biggest criticism was the coffee. Anything other than a flat white you had to PAY for, so espressos, cappuccino, lattes, cortado all were charged to your room. Also this hotel charges an optional 5% on your room bill while charging you 13.5% for service.

    Location, room, facilities, bar, restaurant, staff and that an umbrella was in the room for those rainy London days all were excellent.

    I had booked the hotel also because of the Spa, but was a bit disappointed that the Spa only consisted of a steamroom and a gym. The treatment I had booked in the spa was brilliant.

    the restaurant was really good and not to expensive. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. the location was good and very easy to get to and from both the city and Gatwick airport.
