I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The rooms were clean, smart, and incredibly comfortable, with lovely home touches like a free bottle of London Pride in the fridge and good coffee. The yummiest breakfast, especially the veggie option, made my mornings even better. Although the hotel service was friendly and clear, it could have been more attentive. The location was nothing short of perfect, just a short walk from iconic landmarks and with a pub attached for convenience. The dining experience was really good, offering plenty of choices and a menu that was a welcome change. A fantastic choice for my London trip!

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a very nice size with all the conveniences and more spacious than expected, but my room felt like Harry Potter's closet, it was so claustrophobic. The service was incredible, especially the lady at the reception desk, but there were some rude front of house staff that made me less likely to go back. The location was absolutely perfect for us, being so central and great for our plans, yet there were some issues with rude staff. The dining was fantastic with a variety of dishes and fast service, but some complaints about the front of house staff affected the overall enjoyment of the stay.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were excellent, with a complimentary beer and water in the fridge, as well as free coffee and tea making facilities. They were more spacious than I had expected but a tad small with no outlets in the bathroom. The service was top-notch, with very helpful and courteous staff, and the location was perfect, being very close to all the popular attractions I wanted to visit. The dining experience was very generous with a wide variety of hot made-to-order food and a full breakfast. The facilities were great, and I loved the proximity to other pubs and restaurants in the area.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean, spacious, and sumptuous, the bathroom had some issues with peeling paint and a non-working fan. The early morning noise from the staff's store room was a major disturbance. The location, however, was fantastic and central to all the main attractions in Westminster.
