Lovely room. The cocktails in the bar were great. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel had the right amount of busy-ness in that there were other guests enjoying themselves, but plenty of capacity/space for us to sit downstairs in the bar area etc. All good.

The ‘junior classroom’ room was clean and novel - tall pitched ceiling into the roof space. Very nice room with complimentary mini-bar was a nice touch. We didn’t eat there or use the spa facilities but what we saw was a unique boutique hotel, converted from a Grammer school. The check in staff were courteous and friendly. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

I had a great time. The hotel was beautiful. I only wish the bathroom sink was a bit bigger and that the shower had a liner on the bottom. Water would get everywhere whenever I showered. But everyone was so nice. I would stay there again but in a different room

Good looking hotel with friendly staff and a good sized bedroom allocated to us. Breakfast options were largely good, with a range of cooked Indian or English food options available, but it is not good value if you are only wanting a continental style breakfast as there is not enough choice. The dining hall is cavernous, so lacking in atmosphere when dining in the evening. Background music is played far too loudly over meals. My only niggle about the room was the TV, which stood right at the base of the bed, and which I continuously knocked into. Used the hotel as a base for other London activities, so can't report on any other aspects of the hotel, like the spa.

I think customer care could be more polished - there seemed to be very few staff the mini bar and room comforts were a bit mean for the price and very limited no slippers only 2 towels no moisturiser although they did bring some on asking -room quite noisy from other rooms can be heard and noisy a/c heating system staff helpful when asked but could be a bit more welcoming breakfast v good
