Lovely hotel with spacious and spotlessly clean bedrooms. Our only negative experience is that on our day of check out we thought we would have a drink at the hotel bar before heading home. We had been perusing the drinks on offer for a few minutes without being acknowledged so we asked the barman if the bar was open (it had gone midday) and he said it was supposed to be but he wasn’t ready. He was completely indifferent and gave no indication of how long we might need to wait so we left and went to one of the nearby pubs instead. Utterly bizarre!

The Thames suite, advertised by the hotel website as offering “a panoramic view of Thames River” offers no view. When you ask the receptionist, they confirm that they have not a single room with a river view. This is of course fraudulent PR.

The hotel has big comfortable rooms, mini bar is included, breakfast was very tasty. The services at check in and check out are not suitable for a 5 stars hotel. When I arrived, there was no one, I had to wait 10 minutes for someone to come. At check out I asked to check out at 13 because I had booked a treatment at the spa, the personal that was at reception the day before told me there is ok, on the day of the departure they told me its impossible so I had to leave the hotel full of massage oil. By the way the tell you that you have 15% percent at the spa treatments but they add you service charge and you arrive at the same price. Overall the hotel is nice but they have to be more careful with this things.
