Arrived early and if i checked in before 2pm, i would have to pay 200 pounds. Thereore i waited 4.5 hours in lobby after a 6+ flight to be able to check in at 2:45 pm. I have never ever had to pay to check in early into any hotel in the world. The hotel person was pleasant about the policy. It is not a welcoming policy for the guest staying at the hotel. Furthermore, rhete wasnt a robe as described in the hotel amenities. Also, there was free water in room. I had accumulated a couple of bottles and the maintenence person removed a couple of waters from my refrigerator. They were supposed to have been an amenity given to me every day. The room was tended to very late

This is what I call a proper London hotel - it has everything you need. A great bar & restaurant, a coffee shop/snack bar, a convenience shop and a concierge and all in a fantastic location! Despite the hotel being almost fully booked, we were offered an upgrade to a larger room which was greatly appreciated. The room was huge with a bath and a shower plus a great range in the complimentary room service fridge. My only negative comments are that the lifts are very slow and it’s a bit of a scrum when everyone returns at the same time and that some areas are looking little tired - but overall we had a great couple of nights and would definitely look at booking again next time we are in London!

Small issues at every turn. No shampoo in the room. No water in the room let alone snacks or a minibar. Painfully slow check in. Didn’t count the time but I would estimate an hour. 20+ minutes to go up or down the elevators and no stair access from what I could find. Key FOB stopped working which required another trip down and back up the elevator. Breakfast service that felt like of cattle herding. Coffee pitchers all empty and only 1/3 machines working. No sign of active management anywhere. Not all misses. Bar service was kind and attentive (particularly the manager) and the hotel looked somewhat appealing visually.

Check in was extremely long wait, event with system updating it was 25 30 mins to get your room key. Then even being on 7th floor better to take the stairs than waiting for the lifts that again seem to take forever if you could get one that wasn't full.

Room and hallways looking tired and worn. Chipped paintwork, worn looking carpet etc. Our room (335) was a fabulous size (executive). Incl breakfast as well as lounge drinks & coffee with evening snacks. But the bathroom became more and more troubling with an unpleasant odour as our week went on. Informed staff at check out. If we were staying longer, we would have moved rooms. It wasn’t noticeable at first. Staff were very positive in their reaction, thanking me for notifying them so that maintenance could attend to the problem. I wish smokers moved further from the entrance. Every evening on our return, we had to walk through a throng of people outside, smoking. I’ve never seen so many smokers in a hotel. Presumably due to the large number of rooms in the hotel. It takes up an entire block on Oxford St, though the entrance is in the street behind. Great location for visitors to London. The location of reception was problematic at check-in time. Our taxi double parked to quickly unload our luggage. The street was full of taxis doing likewise. There is one small ramp to convey luggage inside and no room to wait while taking the lift up to reception. Not much they can do about that I suppose. Due to the layout of the building, many rooms face inwards. See this frequently in hotels, but the view is generally of a courtyard. Not here! First room allocated (an expensive executive room) was on level 2 and looked directly AT the ducting of air con! Yuk! Asked to move. We did.
