Great hotel, in a great location with great rooms. Only thing was the breakfast, we ordered room service one morning and it didn't blow us away and was quite expensive. Overall very positive experience and will probably be going back next time I'm in London.
ItalyBreakfast, very comfortable beds, great location, very clean and well provided rooms. Staff extremely professional and helpful.
VietnamIt was a lovely experience staying at the hotel a great location and the hotel and rooms were very comfortable. Stunning views from the bedroom onto the river .
United KingdomVery stylish and glamorous feeling. Great location - could walk into Soho, and get around by riverboat. But despite being central, the riverfront location means it has the bonus of being quiet by night. Staff are superb, absolutely top of their game. Soundproofing is great - didn't hear a thing.
