’ve stayed at this hotel twice before, in 2021 and 2022, for short stays and had a positive experience. However, my recent five-night stay was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had, and I deeply regret choosing this property. I booked this stay through Expedia, which may have contributed to the issue, though I had previously booked directly with the hotel. For the price, we were placed in the smallest room available, which was not suitable for two people. Worse, the room had significant black mold on the walls. As someone familiar with the UK's damp climate, I understand that mold can be common, but this was entirely unacceptable in a hotel, especially when you’re paying a premium for a five-night stay. The housekeeping staff appeared to have tried to clean the mold but only succeeded in smearing it across the walls. Even worse, they attempted to hide the mess behind a curtain. After complaining to the manager, I was moved to a larger room, though it had a smaller bed, which was uncomfortable for my partner and me as we are both tall. This was far from ideal, but I accepted it out of necessity. The issues didn’t end there. In the breakfast area, I encountered staff behavior that seemed to reflect unconscious bias in how guests were seated. When I raised my concerns, rather than offering understanding or resolution, the staff became defensive and dismissive. This was troubling and unprofessional. Since leaving the hotel, I have been unwell, and the symptoms began

Very happy with this hotel and the visit to London. Excellent location, good sized clean and modern room. Staff were great especially Pale and Maz who had to go above and beyond when we lost an item when switching from one room to another. We arrived earlier than our check-in time and our room was not available. Later, there was a chance to check in slightly earlier but room was on the first floor above reception- went to look at it but that room was not satisfactory so we were moved to another room on a higher floor which was larger and renovated unlike the first floor. In that process, we left an item which we only realized hours later and Pale and Maz were able to retrieve it and were so gracious in doing so. Doorman, bellman and all were lovely throughout the stay.
