We’ve stayed here twice and enjoyed the stay both times. The common areas—the lounge, the Corral Room, and the speakeasy—are all great. The service is very friendly and fantastic. The hotel is centrally located for doing a lot in London & you can walk to many destinations. The rooms both times were small. Our only really complaint is that the bathrooms were too small and there was very limited counter space. This made getting ready in the morning more challenging than it should be.

I'd describe the room as cozy but crowded with an oversized bed that dwarfed a poorly placed tiny club chair. The luggage rack was in a very inconvenient location as well...quite far from the closet. The tiny bathroom was made most awkward by a ridiculously narrow tub that you need to step up into, and a toilet poorly fitted behind the bathroom door. A lovely tea set up was included, but hid behind a closet door that made it challenging to access and move to the desk for use (must clear a spot for it in case you had been doing work at the desk). Room doors are very close together in narrow hallways, and the walls are paper-thin, so unfortunately, you learn more about your neighbors than you would care to making me loath video calls even more than I already do. And the last bit of annoyance to report is that the duvet is much too heavy for a room that is not drafty or damp. All that aside, the staff is amazing, as is the location. The hotel has some truly beautiful spaces to dine and enjoy a cocktail. I would risk another stay because all things considered, I still enjoyed myself.

he people who work there are great. Everyone from the doorman to the concierge was friendly and helpful. However they couldn't compensate for the awful room. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel, so tiny I had to enter the shower sideways. The furniture in the room was too big for the space and looked like it was 50 years old. Just a very uncomfortable room with not enough space to open our suitcases. Just not a five star experience and not worth the price. I would definitely not return.
