Beds were very comfortable after long plane flight. Lovely accomodations. Staff eager to please except for one grumpy lady at the bar who wasn't friendly. Appreciated them seeing to our needs quickly for taxis & anything else we needed. Very quiet room facing away from street. Could use some instructions on how to use the shower & MUCH better instructions on using the Nesso machine.

Janice, United Kingdom

Excellent service as usual! Warm welcome and friendly conversation as we were taken to our residence. The apartment was spacious, with luxurious linens, very clean and there were good facilities in the room (full kitchen including washer/dryer). Fantastic location for a walk through Hyde Park, places to eat and drink.

Fc, United Kingdom

Everything excellent, towels were changed twice a day!!

Margaret, United Kingdom

The apartment was an excellent stay for our family with two small children. The staff went to great lengths to make sure we had everything necessary for a perfect stay and we were provided with high chairs, toys, cartoons and even complimentary milk for our children. The breakfast buffet was excellent as well and room service from the same restaurant was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back.

“Excellent stay in one-bedroom apartment”
- • Leisure trip

- • 2 rooms

눉There was no microwave oven in the kitchen, but otherwise it was very well equipped. And there was no access to the apartments without some steps (difficult with a pram), though staff was very helpful carrying the pram in stairs.
눇The apartment was an excellent stay for our family with two small children. The staff went to great lengths to make sure we had everything necessary for a perfect stay and we were provided with high chairs, toys, cartoons and even complimentary milk for our children. The breakfast buffet was excellent as well and room service from the same restaurant was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back.
