This Hotel is unique; a ‘Great Gatsby’ feel and decor. The staff is highly accommodating and kind. There are many comfy, cozy, lounge areas - including a well-stocked library. An actual club with annual membership, and guests have membership for the length of their stay; quiet, intimate atmosphere with no typical tourists, few to no children (at least during my stay). Highly recommended.

Lovely bank holiday stay, family of 5.

Wonderful stay for a family of 5. Lovely sized clean room. We stayed in one of the basement rooms and were worried it would feel dark but it didn’t. The hotel was an excellent location for us to visit the museums, many cafes and restaurants and Kensington palace and gardens without having to use any public transport. Used the pool during the time children are allowed. It was nice but very busy and too many older children jumping in for our 2 year old. I think it would benefit from more than one time a day during holidays and weekends where kids can use the pool or a special under 5s time.

The location was phenomenal. Within two blocks there were multiple restaurants, a Tube stop, and a bus stop that could take you all over the city easily. My only complaint was that the hotel was doing maintenance directly in front of my room. I was not notified by staff that the work was taking place. It was annoying and potentially unsafe for myself and other guests.

We stayed at this property for two nights as a spa stay. The hotel itself looks fantastic, and is well maintained. The staff on the front desk were very helpful and polite. The room was a great size with a seperate sitting area, a nice bathroom and small kitchen area which was appreciated. We chose the hotel due to the pool and spa facilities which was really nice, but I made a mistake thinking the pool, which is warmed to 31 degrees, would be warm! It takes some getting used to, but there is also a nice sauna and steam room. The area itself is pretty great too, with at least 10 food options within a 5 minute walking distance. The nearest tube stop is also about 5 minutes away, and its served by several bus lines. If we needed to stay in London again we would definately consider coming back
