Hotel is a stones throw from Embankment tube station. We had a river view room and the view was stunning, especially at night. Staff were helpful and very polite. Would stay again.

Excellent hotel

The hotel is very cool and has a lot of heritage. Service was excellent right from the start. There was an issue with the shower at first, so we got moved to another room. The rooms are beautiful and had complimentary snacks and drinks. It was an excellent location and we got a view of the front yard and London Eye.

So close to many dining opportunities and shops as well as tourist attractions. So walkable. Be aware that a room with two beds won’t get you a room with a view. Some staff were friendly but not responsive when we called down for a couple items we needed. Overall a beautiful hotel and great location.

Excellent hotel and location.

Great hotel and excellent location. The only thing I wish the hotel would change is to have boiled eggs and crispier bacon at breakfast, and softer towels.

I’ve seen a few mixed reviews but we had a very good experience. Efficient and polite check in and we were upgraded free to a lovely King room with a river view. I’d told them in advance it was my husband’s birthday (a big one) and they surprised us with a bottle of bubbles in our room. Furniture is perhaps a little dated, but we had a fantastic view of the river and a very comfy bed. No complaints here!

Amazing location

The hotel was amazing the location was in the city Center super convenient to site see and near many train stations. We had a room with a wonderful view of the eye, but for safety reason the window cannot open all the way. But again waking up with the view, we never closed our shades.

It was a nice, hotel and well located for the theatre. The downside for me as a bigger person is the bathroom sink is far large and directly opposite the towel heater creating a narrow passage for you to pass through and not burn yourself. Apart from that it was good.
