Really good stay in Central Area
central locationwine glassesluxurious bedding
The location was central. I walked to many attractions (Covent Garden was my favorite). The hotel provided wine glasses and a shaker in my room. I found a Nespresso machine and fresh cream in the fridge. A nice touch. The staff was impeccably dressed and cute. The bedding felt luxurious, and the room amenities were superb.
The air conditioning in my room could not be switched off. I had to call the reception to ask a technician to switch it off.

Mixed Experience, Understaffed Bar and Room Issues
clean facilitiesunderstaffed barmissing soft drinks
The hotel had modern and clean facilities, which I appreciated
The bar service was slow due to it being understaffed. I often walked away. The in-room mini bar was supposed to be stocked with complimentary soft drinks. It was empty and remained that way despite informing reception twice. I was disappointed by these oversights given the cost of the stay.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
modern roomunderstaffed barslow service
The room was modern. (The design was okay, I guess.)
The bar was understaffed, and it was hard to get service. We tried to order drinks before an event, but after waiting a long time, we had to leave without them because the bartender was too busy. This made us late and was frustrating after paying so much for the hotel.
