We stayed here for one night as part of a birthday weekend trip into London for my husband and overall we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Just returned after a lovely mini break in London. From the moment we checked in until we handed the quick check out envelope back the service was second to none! The room and beds were very comfortable, we slept so sound. Breakfast in the dining room was really lovely, fresh and plentiful.We had room service the second morning and again... More

Very nice hotel in the center of London :) excellent location if you want to stay in the heart of London. Friendly staff, nice rooms. I do think that in a 4-5 star hotel today there should be a free Wi-Fi in all the rooms, but that was only in the lobby and also missing was a computer in the... More

This is a Hilton Hotel, though it doesn't say Hilton outside. We stayed two nights using HiltonHonors points, and were very happy with our selection of this hotel. It is very much a boutique hotel and doesn't feel like a traditional Hilton - a nice change of pace. In what appears to be an older building, I was very pleasantly... More
