United KingdomThe staff went out of their way to cater for our every need. The hotel was really clean and taking lots of extra measures for reassurance in these strange times.
United KingdomFriendly staff, clean rooms, very convenient location near Knightsbridge and shopping area yet is off a side street so you can still get a peaceful nights sleep. Staff fully trained with regards to COVID safety measures. Gloves, face masks and alcohol gel provided to guests which was a lovely touch.
United KingdomThe staff were excellent especially Lorena and team
United KingdomExcellent staff, great location, quiet, comfortable clean room. Also excellent breakfast.
CanadaBreakfast was excellent. Great location. Quiet. Comfortable beds. Good toiletries.
United KingdomThe capital is in an amazing location - very central but surprisingly quiet (we were on the 6th floor). the bar is comfortable and comprehensive, the rooms are of a size that you'd expect in such an expensive bit of real estate but more than adequate and the staff are charming and helpful. Hotels in Knightsbridge are expensive but this was good value compared with the larger and less personal places in the area.
