10/10 Exceptional

It’s a lovely hotel in an elegant part of town. There were a few glitches on check in (room wasn’t ready at 3:00, check in time, and then a first floor was given after upper floor was requested), but thereafter everything was pleasantly smooth.

Excellent customer service from the moment we arrived. This hotel truly lived up to its 5 star rating. The location provided easy access to the metro, and was central and extremely safe. Plenty to do and if you do not feel like leaving the hotel, you could easily dine in as well. This hotel is worth every penny and will be the only place I stay in London when I return.
