Fabulous hotel in a terrific location. It would have received 5 stars, however we ran out of toilet paper, called for some more and none was delivered. We had to call again in the morning and it was promptly delivered. Luckily there was some tissue we were able to use. Also, the cleaning staff cleaned our room but didn’t empty the garbage that was full.

This hotel was recommended by a colleague for location and atmosphere. It seemed worth the premium price, to me, for the historic building and reputation. We stayed for 3 nights but only had hot water for the first half of our trip. We took icy cold showers two mornings in a row, with an evening of the same in between. Maintenance never came, after each round of complaints, and the front desk had repeated excuses for why the hot water was "just now rectified." The morning manager offered us a meager discount of 20%, that she insisted on issuing only through Expedia. We didn't have time to negotiate further as our airport transport was waiting. When I contacted Expedia, they tried to intervene with no response from the hotel. This hotel did not deliver while charging us a premium price, then they lacked integrity in rectifying their injustice. There are many other London accommodations that would surely deliver more for a better price.

If they offer you room 840 then ask them for a different room! There was damp on the ceiling around the air conditioning unit and the walls were dirty. Air conditioning didn’t work and the heater in the room only put out cold air! I paid £350 for a deluxe room but this room was far from deluxe! They changed the room for us to room 620. This room was more like the room I’d seen on the hotels website images. Not a nice experience so wouldn’t book again.

Not the first time I have stayed here. This hotel is a classic, historic hotel in a fabulous location. Service is spectacular and I love the beautiful touches you find in such classic hotels. A little serendipity would be if you walked the main staircase instead of taking the lift. Beautiful carved marble, stained glass and stunning decorations of days gone by. Room was quite spacious but the bathroom was a bit challenging with organization. My only disappointment is the hotel is showing a bit of age and needs some maintenance work including a lift that has apparently been non-operational for quite a while. Still one of my 'go to' hotels in London.
