What a wonderful hotel! From the lovely check in staff, to the beautiful room, we had an amazing stay. We were celebrating an anniversary, and received a lovely card and bottle of prosecco. Such a lovely surprise. The bed was large and very comfortable, the view over London, with the Shard, was spectacular. We would recommend this lovely hotel, and hope to return again soon.Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Fawlty Towers Standard - check in was chaotic as systems down which is one of those things but there was no communication from senior management and their back up manual process was v slow, clearly didn’t work and several days later they’ve not refunded deposit. The retro 1974 design is quirky, albeit grated after a bit and just added to the feeling that we’d maybe accidentally booked a Fawlty Towers hotel experience.

Insistence on showing ID at checkin not made clear prearrival. Showed clerk a photo railcard but not good enough - I am a retired British subject and room was fully prepaid - I have stayed at least 10 times before and never had this issue.
