A real let down sadly!
Overall a disappointing stay. We booked this hotel on the basis it was very well reviewed and it didn’t live up to our expectations.
Communication was good in advance of our stay. Having informed them of our arrival in advance our room wasn’t available to check in to. We were offered a welcome drink during the wait but only after asking how long our room would take to be ready. The room itself was good but let down by the drain smell in our room which required us to keep the bathroom door shut. The TV also didn’t work on a number of channels.
The location is very good for access to the Park and Victoria train station.
I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in London and sadly this didn’t live up to the hype!

It was okay. Comfortable and clean. Easy access to transportation. Good dining and shopping options.
Nothing extraordinary about the hotel itself. The cleaning staff was very friendly and pleasant to interact with.
