Liked: Cleanliness
The room was miniscule and not very well laid out. So if you are going to do anything at all other than literally shower and sleep (e.g., read, have a cup of tea or coffee, meet anyone in the room), it was impossible. For example, there was literally no place to put your suitcase. And this hotel was not cheap, so I expected more. The bathroom was quite nice even though it was small. The shower was great. And there is a lovely whiskey bar/speakeasy just off the lobby. So there were some compensations. That is why they got 2 stars instead of one.

This is a fantastic hotel. We stayed in connecting family rooms and were very comfortable throughout our stay over Christmas. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The beds and bathrooms were great. Breakfast was absolutely worth it… would recommend this to anyone visiting London. The location also cannot be beat.

Rooms were spotless, the staff were super friendly. I don't want to sound like a tight scotsman (although I am :), this is not a cheap hotel so to get £12.80 per day for what they called servicing the room (discretionary) was a bit much . If a hotel of this class don't pay their staff enough that they rely on tipping then get a new job
