Didn't want to leave!
I stayed here for a week with my mother. Excellent location- right across from Buckingham place- short walk or tube ride to the rest of the city. Extremely helpful concierge and doorman- they were extremely friendly! Had our bags inside and our check in information ready before we were even out of the taxi! Convenient location to train and bus station if you will be visiting other parts of the country. Concierge knew the tour companies well- Evan Evans tours picks you up at the hotel. Our room was very smalll but incredibly comfortable- great bathroom- provided bathrobes, lotions, sleepmasks etc. Tea and coffee service in the room was great- room was cleaned and restocked perfectly everyday. Breakfast was wonderful- with a lot of options, room service ws equally good. The lounge/bar is a great place to relax in the evening or have afternoon tea. The restaurant-The Library- was really impressive-expensive, but well worth it. Very quiet- so if your completely exhausted from sightseeing or business like we were- you can count on being able to take a nap.Our view was the only thing really lacking- all we could see was the hotel across the street, but we weren't there often anyway.I will definately return!
Didn't want to leave!
I can't believe these other reviews. Be ready for a shock. * for a 10' X 10' ""closet"". No room to even put bags. *drinks. * chicken dinner. * internet per 1/2 hr. BAD value for money. So many other choices.
Comfortable Stay In London
Great location, beautiful rooms and impeccable and courteous staff. Definitely our 1st choice again. Very near to multiple rail linesand rail station nearby has lots of food, pastries, etc. for most hours.
The desk personnel helped out a lot when my wife got sick. Rooms are expensive when compared with U.S. but its not in the U.S. The suite was nice but small. Hotel is across the street from the Palace. Would stay there again if I return to Londone.
The hotel was convenient to the subway/buses so it made it easy for sightseeing. The room was smaller than expected but we weren't there much anyways. The staff was nice and we would probably stay there again.
Great location, whether or not you are walking to the sites or using mass transit, helpful concierge, clean, quiet rooms with squeaky floors that add to its charm, in-room tea/coffee service was a nice touch
