“This property presents a mixed bag; its location near Trafalgar Square can't be beat, and the rooftop bar has earned its reputation for views and cocktails. However, some reports mention issues with service consistency and upkeep that don't align with a supposed five-star experience. For those prioritizing location above all else, it might be worth considering.”
