Room didn't match the pictures

We didn't get the room we were expecting. We reserved a Deluxe Room with City view. The pictures showed a beautiful room with view of the London Eye. Instead we were given a room that somewhat resembled the picture but worn out and no city view. The horrible view was of the roof of the building next door. We complained and were told the room we reserved was not available until the next day. They moved us the next day to the top floor (7th). When we got into the room, it seemed like we had been put in the worse room in the hotel. It looked like an attic, with paint peeling, much smaller and with a musty smell. The whole 7th floor smelled like mold. It did have a city view, but no London Eye, and we had to look at it through small dingy attic windows. There was no safe and the bathroom was a shower/tub combination hard to get in and out, with a glass door with a gap that let water out. The cleaning crew however was good and they did the best they could with a room in bad need of remodeling. One of the elevators worked on and off and it stopped for a few seconds in between floors.

Very firm bed.

Great location if you need to be right in the centre of London. Did not get a good nights sleep as the bed was very firm and pillows not particularly comfortable either. Our deluxe room had very basic amenities, and in particular no slippers. For the rate we paid, we left feeling disappointed.

Always a pleasure to stay here. Great location in Piccadilly , east to walk to. Staff so welcoming and swift check in and out. Rooms very clean and quiet, my room was super spacious nice large bed and complimentary water. The lady who was cleaning was a delight and offered to help fasten my dress I was struggling with for an event later that morning before check out. Highly recommended! Stayed for past 3 years when needs be.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating after we arrived a bit early for check in and made arrangements to get us a room. We had matinee tickets to see Wicked that day so that was a tremendous help and gesture on their part. Very much appreciative of the staff’s consideration and understanding. Will definitely consider this hotel again when we’re back in London.

Top Spot for Night at Theatre!

Just what we needed - central location, clean, secure & comfortable - premium price but that’s primarily the consequence of the central SoHo location - great for a night or two only - all staff friendly & obliging
