balanced stay
helpful staff amazing breakfast dirty balcony limited menu
the staff was helpful . i received a passionate tour of the artwork and the hotel's history from alastair. the location is near trafalgar square. it is also a short walk to many areas including st james' park. the room was immaculate. the reception staff was friendly and helpful. the breakfast was amazing, it included a full english, fresh fruit and pastries.
the room was very small so we had to squeeze past each other. the balcony looked very dirty. every plant surrounding it was dead. the restaurant menu seemed limited for a hotel with so few dining options. i expressed my displeasure, there was no further response.

separate toilet glass bottle luxury feel
The room had a separate toilet from the shower which saved time for two people. Daily replenishment of bottled water was helpful. The water came in glass bottles adding to the luxury feel.
The room lacked tea making facilities and I had to request more milk.

The location is GREAT, it was very easy to walk to everywhere I wanted. The hotel staff were all very friendly and cute. I enjoyed the unique design and decor of the hotel. It created a nice experience.
The lobby is well-designed but lacks accessible information, and the room had poor noise isolation. The receptionist attempted to upsell me.

I found the location convenient. The hotel is near Whitehall and Trafalgar Square. It makes sightseeing SIMPLE. The room offered ample space and included a large bathroom. plenty of closet space and complimentary beverages. I was so charmed. Fresh fruit and snacks was daily.
The check-in process seemed slow. I waited longer than expected, even though staff members were present. Additional training might improve efficiency at the front desk.
