On arrival staff were helpful although check in was slow. Due to an event taking place at the hotel there was nowhere to get a drink, no room service available either. We had to go out of the hotel to get drinks. The bed and pillow were comfortable And room ok but a little tired and dated. Location was great and reasonably priced for London.

The first room we were put in was terrible. No safe, no room to move, nowhere to put our clothes. Not at all suitable for the price. I asked for a better room and originally was told they had no room. When the manager, Roshan stepped in, he moved us to a much better room and we were much happier.

The room was clean and tidied up every two days. The staff was kind and courteous. The Living Room was a great place to start and end each day with a cup of coffee or tea. The available water was also a bonus.

The best thing at this hotel was MATHEW the manager. He loves his job- you can tell! He was very professional, cares about the hotel and more importantly the hotel guests. I am a disabled American and I arrived very early from USA. For a small premium he eagerly tried to get me into my room for a much needed rest and to take medication. He escorted me to the hotel club room and showed me how to fix a cup a tea while he went back to the front desk to help me. I also knew he might not be able to help me but it was very apparent he was going to try to help me. By the way the Club room is nice and if I had to I could have taken a nap in one of the chairs. Mathew worked his magic and came to take me to my room. The bellmen were busy and he assisted me to my room. I offered him a small pecuniary gift and said he could not take it and apologized. I said I will give it to the front tomorrow and they could decide on how to divide it up. Now that’s class. The type of class and managerial skills you see at the more iconic hotels of London such as THE SAVOY which is in the neighborhood. This young man needs to be promoted to CORPORATE and lead corporate training or MOVE ON to another hotel. I don’t say this lightly or without much experience. I have traveled over 4 million miles and have stayed at more hotels globally than I can count. Plus my wife’s family was in the hotel hospitality business. Well done MATTHEW. THANKS. London hotels need to improve the HEATING SYSTEM.
