It was far below expectations as per Taj Group. No Welcome Drinks, Requested special arrangements for our Anniversary but an Egg pastry was sent without asking for our food restrictions. When requested some plates, they even charged us for in room cutlery. However, front staff was very helpful but management is poor.

As soon as you arrive the staff can not do any more for you! They are so friendly, professional and polite. Our room was ready on arrival (1.30pm) We checked in and was shown to our room. We upgraded to a courtyard suite which was so amazing! Clean, bright and spacious for the 3 of us. (1 Child) We walked in and found a cake which was a very nice touch. We will return and this is our favorite hotel in london. Thank you again
