They charged my card on check-in as 'deposit' but didn’t tell they would actually take money from my account! Now I have to chase them because they never returned this deposit back!

Great views and location. Unfortunately we had a problem with our room so had to move and the second room that we were given was extremely noisy which meant we didn’t sleep very well so unfortunately this will be a trip to remember but not necessarily for all the right reasons.

One of the absolute best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. A special thank you to the young lady who was training, I believe her name was, Paulina, her kindness and understanding for the start of my stay assured me that I made the right choice.. Location, luxuries, and amenities will definitely bring me back again when visiting London in the future..
