Check in was ok - friendly enough staff but they had booked my friend and i into a double room when i had booked a twin. They offered a king size as an upgrade but we wanted separate beds. So then had to wait while they tried to find a room. Eventually got a twin but it had frosted windows so we couldnt see out.

Clean spacious room, really good shower. Good amenities, nice large fluffy towels. Nice bathrobes and slippers. Coffee pod machine and shortbread, also free popcorn and a chocolate bar, plus water and soft drinks. We did not get information on breakfast times if we desired. Nor did we receive a room upgrade and didnot receive the 20% off foodd.

Lovely well appointed room with comfy bed. The only downside was ventilation - no fan in bathroom and no view from window (facing a brick wall) which made getting natural light a problem.

We had a six night stay at the hotel. Every detail was thoughtfully and carefully curated. The reception and concierge services were always courteous and friendly. Osmany at the front door was always willing to have a quick chat! The breakfast was outstanding as well as the bar next-door, Equus, which produces delicious drinks and food. It was so close to the nearest tube stop and yet the neighborhood was so very quiet and peaceful. The location near the Thames and Whitehall Gardens was lovely as well. We give this our highest rating and approval and should we be able to visit London again would book this right away!
