All staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was spotless, and although not that big, it had everything we need. The complimentary mini bar is a nice touch and staff asked multiple times if we needed anything further. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on the food. Great location for Tower Bridge and Borough Market and central enough to get to other areas like Covent Garden without too much trouble.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful building and great location, but very disappointing stay overall. I stayed one night and unfortunately experienced dirty bed linen with visible marks, which is unacceptable at this price point. My room was also opposite a staff/fire door that opened and closed loudly and repeatedly throughout the night, making sleep extremely difficult. The building itself is beautiful, the location is excellent, and the bar is lovely, though service was slow with only one staff member on duty. I raised these issues at checkout and later in writing (with photos of the dirty bed linen). While apologies were offered, the hotel declined to provide any meaningful compensation, which was disappointing and did not reflect the seriousness of the issues. They offered free breakfast and room upgrade (subject to availability), but I am not interested in returning to the hotel. Overall, not the standard I would expect from a top-end hotel and the price paid. I will avoid in the future.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Rugs worn and stained Gaslit by employee about the urine smell, telling me over and over that it’s just the smell of food. I guess their food smells like vinegar. Asked for ice to the room. Forgot to bring it. When we checked in they said that everything had been paid for, then flagged us down to pay later. Lots of confusion. The staff is incompetent. The restaurant and bar are lifeless.
