We LOVED staying in this hotel thanks to the staff. The staff were amazing for anything we needed! Super nice, friendly and approachable. It was also a great location. What we did not enjoy at the hotel and did not feel were worth the money were both the full and continental breakfasts, as well as the afternoon tea. All were WAY overpriced and not worth it. The continental breakfast was comparable to a cheap American breakfast…very slim offerings. And the afternoon tea…was a disappointment. Which is unfortunate as there was so much hype around it.

The staff was incredible! Only thing to think about is the elevators are very small so if you have a lot of luggage you might have to make 2 trips. Other than that the room was clean and comfortable! Would recommend.

Not sure why or how we had VIP - we didn’t receive any of the perks. I think the classic rooms are over looked on the type of service you’ll receive. Not complaining it was an excellent experience.

Beautiful hotel and great staff! Is also located next to a shopping mall with a few food options, and within a 5 minute walk to Victoria Station. Honestly, the only complaint I have would be their price on laundry. I was planning on doing laundry while there (I had a 9 day trip to London and Edinburgh) because it was my last stay before heading back, and I noticed on their website it advertised laundry. It wasn't a lie. They offer laundry services, but the prices are astronomical. They wanted (and I clarified) 6GBP PER PAIR of SOCKS! A shirt was 13GBP. I didn't think that too terrible. But hey! That was my only complaint. Also, there's a 15 GBP / day service charge. I don't recall seeing that advertised anywhere, but I could have missed it.
