Stay at Godfrey, everything you need is steps away
We always have a wonderful stay here. This trip we barely left the room; only when getting morning coffee + snacks from George Howell coffee bar downstairs, and of course a fantastic sushi dinner from Ruka Bar (also located downstairs) to be enjoyed upstairs. Our only regret was to stay longer !

As perfect as it can get
One of the few places that actually exceeds my expectations - accommodated my early check in request, room layout was efficient, and lots of great enhancements - snacks, drinks etc. (also room keeping was responsive and quick!)

Perfect place and location!
Wonderful location, clean hotel, great, friendly staff. A perfect place to stay. On a side note, please be aware there is a resort fee in addition to the price hotels.com quotes. I didn’t read the fine print and didn’t know until I got there.
