Cover charge in bar, and one of the staff in velvet bar was very condescending although most were lovely.

Food373Strength
Food and accommodation were excellent.
Google, July 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Chef perhaps a bit reluctant to provide ample portions of expensive seafood; prices warrant a more generous hand.

The halal options in restaurants were not satisfactory.

Quiet at night72Mostly good
Definitely will be back as the location is in a quieter part of London but you can be in all the bustle of Covent garden in 10 minutes.

Quiet but in a great central location.

Wasn’t too sure on the soundproofing as could hear staff moving things in the corridor during night and also outside traffic/binmen.

Price for a last minute emergency booking was astronomical!

I sadly wouldn't return, as it's not worth the money compared to other hotels in London

Not good enough for the price, seems living on reputation

Was charged £70 for ‘service charge’ I have never heard of a service charge been put on the end of a stay before, especially when they already charge so much to stay, they should already be looking after their staff.
