The staff was incredible! Only thing to think about is the elevators are very small so if you have a lot of luggage you might have to make 2 trips. Other than that the room was clean and comfortable! Would recommend.

Not sure why or how we had VIP - we didn’t receive any of the perks. I think the classic rooms are over looked on the type of service you’ll receive. Not complaining it was an excellent experience.

Beautiful hotel and great staff! Is also located next to a shopping mall with a few food options, and within a 5 minute walk to Victoria Station. Honestly, the only complaint I have would be their price on laundry. I was planning on doing laundry while there (I had a 9 day trip to London and Edinburgh) because it was my last stay before heading back, and I noticed on their website it advertised laundry. It wasn't a lie. They offer laundry services, but the prices are astronomical. They wanted (and I clarified) 6GBP PER PAIR of SOCKS! A shirt was 13GBP. I didn't think that too terrible. But hey! That was my only complaint. Also, there's a 15 GBP / day service charge. I don't recall seeing that advertised anywhere, but I could have missed it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros: • Convenient location to Underground (transportation) & tourist stuff • Nice interior design of hotel, including room • Doormen are very nice & helpful, especially Pascal • Staff is attentive • Bed is firm (could be a negative for some) • Nice bathroom tub faucet and sprayer, has ceiling-mounted “rain” shower-head • Staff will call you daily to see if all is ok; I found this nice, but disruptive to me (I requested they not call me) Cons: • Restaurant is highly overpriced (English breakfast is $68, and unremarkable) • Bathroom lighting is extremely bad; strong down-lights, a show-stopper for women putting on make-up or if you want to see how you look before you go out • Upon arrival, they disclose that they are automatically charging you a discretionary $20 per-day service charge for front-of-house staff; the fee is optional, but most will not go through the effort to have them reduce or remove the fee (this is another way for them to increase revenue) • E-mailed a question to Guest Experience Manager regarding directions, and it took her over a week to receive a reply; I had returned from London by then • Room maintenance is poor; air-conditioning was broken in room, sink clogged, and light bulbs burnt-out (Housekeeping should be monitoring condition of room instead of burdening guests to report and witness maintenance) • Paying extra for a view of the Royal Mews was a waste and a determent; you face a busy noisy street, and you can see virtually nothing of interest
