Overall it was a lovely stay. Breakfast had lots of choice, staff were lovely. Great location for the South bank and att
Pros:

Great location, bar was tranquil and calm after the hustle and bustle of a busy day. It had a lovely pool but we didn’t have time to use it. Nice rooms, reception and public spaces.

Cons:

The carpet in the room was stained and needed cleaning. Flush on toilet mechanism stuck and overflowed with water. However it was sorted and cleaned up.

Fantastic hotel in a great location
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location to visit London. We stayed to see Oliver and we are very pleased we did. The reception staff were friendly and very polite, efficient and helpful. The room itself was really lovely. It was nice and clean with plenty of space and the bathroom was beautiful. We slept really well as it was nice and quiet. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
