Overall disappointing, great location.
Pros:

The property was a great location, very beautiful gardens and the garden rooms were lovely and spacious.

Cons:

Due to the power surge in London the air con went down, which is out of the control of the hotel, however the 3 times we had to ask for help was unacceptable on my wedding day. One of my bridal party had to go to reception 3 times to ask for a fan, when the hotel was aware we were in hair and make up on the hottest June day, the lack of empathy and support for myself as the bride was poor given the cost of the hotel let alone the awards it’s won for service.

Pros:

Abbiamo chiesto che la camera afdacciasse sul lato giardino perche le camere sulla strada sono rumorose e ci hanno accomodati. Abbiamo dormito benissimo senza alcun rumore che a Londra e' davvero raro

Lovely stay, but could be better for that price!
Pros:

I stayed for 1 night for my daughters wedding. The property itself was lovely & a great location.

Cons:

However the bathroom tap was broken, my bathroom was dirty and whilst the air con was down, the age it took to provide a fan to the wedding party was pretty poor.

Perfect In Every Way!
Pros:

Honestly, I don't know where to begin. We went to London to cheer on a London Marathon runner and booked the trip though Costco Travel. The location of this boutique hotel was excellent-in a pretty and quiet neighborhood with close proximity to the tube, shops and places of interest. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, particularly Miko Selcuk, the concierge, who went above and beyond to be sure that we had everything we needed. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast where it was served with extraordinary service every morning in the well-appointed dining room. We couldn't be more pleased with our stay and hope to return!

Perfect in Every Way!
Pros:

Honestly, I don't know where to begin! We were in London to cheer on a London Marathon runner. We booked this package through Costco Travel. We could not have been more pleased with the location of this boutique hotel-in a very pretty area with close proximity to the tube, shops and places of interest. The hotel was very charming and welcoming with a staff that far surpassed all expectations-particularly Miko Selcuk, the concierge who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed breakfast every day in the delightful, well-appointed dining room-it was absolutely delicious and impeccably served. There is not a single negative thing I can say-this is a gem of a hotel and we will be back!

A beautiful property with a great team
Pros:

The property is stylish and beautiful, and the location is good. Customer satisfaction and a friendly attitude are the things I value most, and they completely succeed in this by solving problems and offering alternatives. I would like to thank the hotel manager Adella, and Yusuf from the concierge team for their care and attention.

More like a guesthouse than a proper hotel. They refused to issue an invoice for EUR2500.
Pros:

Blisko do Harrods i cicho.

Cons:

Hotel odmówił wydania mi faktury, czym naraził mnie na problemy z rozliczeniem w pracy. Chodziło o około 2500 EUR. Rozmowa z recepcją jest jak rozmowa z czatbotem.
