Look are deceptive unfortunately.

Great location and extremely friendly staff. But…..room design was very poor. You have zero bathroom privacy. Tv was poorly positioned. Windows were so dirty I doubt they’d ever been cleaned. In the evening the top floor bar became a drunken teenager shout fest.

Lovely comfortable rooms.

Lovely stay, really comfortable bed. Lovely room and facilities. We went the the W lounge twice in the afternoon it was excellent, however at night the service was very slow. The man serving us was lovely, there just didn’t seem to be enough staff. Took over 20 mins from ordering a drink to being served it and we had to chase it.

A Red Weather warning (danger to life) stopped us from travelling to W hotel for our special anniversary. Tried phoning hotel to explain and was told to contact Expedia. Tried contacting Expedia but unable to change or cancel booking! All our money lost! Every other organisation, theatre, train etc offered refund given the exceptional circumstances. Poor show from Expedia and W Hotel 😞

Lovely hotel fairy new so clean. On arrival we had 4 people ask us if we wished to have an arrival drink we said no 4x it was just a little much when trying to check in and felt overwhelming. We had someone take us to our room - again felt a little much I’m not into that! During our stay we felt there were maids coming into our room every couple of hours, topping up coffee, putting slippers out for us, giving more towels etc whilst this is fantastic they left behind there bags on occasion making me feel uneasy that people had been in our room when we popped out at every opportunity.
