“L'Oscar London stands out for its commitment to personalized service, from the readily available concierge to the attentive responsiveness of the staff; the design evokes Parisian theatrical flair, extending from the illuminated Onyx bar to the unique Afternoon Tea served in a historic chapel. Its location near Holborn underground places guests steps away from London's cultural heart, including the Royal Opera House and British Museum, making it a distinctive choice for those who appreciate detail.”

the hotel had a Great location near the underground. i was also able to check in early, very convenient after my travels.
the hotel tacked on a service charge at the end, and i wasn't expect that. the lack of a separate seating area was unexpected, given the room was listed as a 'suite'.

The valet parking was useful for our business event. the room included evening turndown service. toni, the doorman, proved friendly and helpful. His assistance made commuting easier. i also noted the quiet and comfortable beds.
i found a lack of doorman upon arrival. the hotel entry required wandering around to find reception. signage should have been better, guiding guests more directly. i waited for assistance.

The team was courteous. The suite has everything one family needs. The suite is very nice comfortable. Toni helped find the most comfortable way to the airport. The lunch at the restaurant was fantastic. I liked the quick problem solving.
The room had smell of food. The smell came from the hotel extractor system on the roof. The same smell could be smelt at the lift access level 6. They need to fix this issue soon.
