A really pleasant stay, would certainly visit again. All staff were excellent which made for a
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely, much preferred it to a buffet, only a slight problem with waste as The fruit was delicious but I couldn’t manage to finish the bowl.
The location was fantastic, that’s why I booked it as we were shopping and I only needed the st James centre and it was a frightful day weather wise so the hotel was ideal.

Cons:

We went to the restaurant in the evening which was quite good and had the tasting menu. The only issue was again waste as the first three dishes were to large for us to finish.

Great stay let down by awful bar service.
Pros:

We had a great stay for my husband’s birthday - the staff were really lovely and welcoming and we were really surprised (and delighted!) to be upgraded on arrival. They sent a bottle of bubbles and a wee cake and the lady was again really lovely when she dropped it off. Room was fab and bed super comfy, and of course it was in a great location.

Cons:

The bar service at the W Lounge was so awful that we walked out - we waited for 20mins before anyone even came over to us. Really disappointing and it let the rest of the hotel team down. Heard from a friend she had a similar experience.
