The service was fabulous. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and solve every problem or request. The hotel has an old world ambience that is very courtly, if one is looking for that experience. Very quiet, safe and easy walking to the main attractions near the Thames. Highly recommend a stay here!

Nice and friendly staff.

The staff was very friendly and professional. My only complaint is that the rooms are not clean: the curtains were very dusty, the area underneath the desks and nightstands weren’t vacuumed in a very long time.
