Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at this hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were beautifully appointed and luxurious, exceeding our expectations and perfectly ready for me and my family. The modern and new design paid close attention to details and amenities that made our stay very comfortable. However, the service was a bit complicated, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us when we encountered a small issue that wasn't the hotel's fault. The location was marvelous, overlooking Green Park and within easy reach of the best bits of town. The dining experience was of a very high standard, with well-presented dishes, but the breakfast was extra and not worth the additional cost.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with lovely tea and coffee facilities available until 2.30 pm and serviced twice a day. The service is excellent, especially with staff like Philip Wollard, the duty manager, who ensures impeccable service. The location is quite ideal, close to many attractions and a short walk to the underground. The dining experience may seem a little sparse for a 5-star hotel, but the succulent organic chicken is a highlight. Overall, a great place to stay with some minor dining considerations.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable, quiet, and spacious, with a nice touch of toys that added a homely feel. The service was exceptional, with a helpful team that truly made my stay stress-free. The location is unbeatable, putting me within walking distance of popular attractions and stylish spots. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but overall, it was a memorable stay.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully equipped and furnished in a lovely contemporary style with quirky nods to its fabulous London location, allowing me a sense of freedom with my own front door. The views of the park were stunning, and the layout with a sitting/dining room and a spacious bedroom with good hanging space was perfect for my needs. The service was impeccable, with professional and very kind staff who made sure my stay was relaxing. The location was key to my visit, offering a fantastic base for exploring Mayfair and beyond. The dining experience was plentiful and delicious, enjoyed in the comfort of my room. The hotel's facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I felt like a VIP in this hotel! The rooms were spacious with a bay window where I could enjoy champagne while watching the world go by. The staff members were not only friendly but also competent. However, there were a few maintenance issues that need attention. We received two free cocktails in the bar for booking directly, and the service there was exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were nicely decorated and spacious, with plenty of electric sockets. The staff members were friendly and competent, although it was a bit cold when we first entered the room. The overall guest experience was great with well-appointed, clean rooms.
The hotel offered a nice clean and comfortable stay with some maintainability issues. The view up to Piccadilly Circus was wonderful, but some aspects were a disgrace for a 5-Star hotel. Booking direct came with perks like complimentary cocktails in the bar, where the service was excellent.
