    It was all as good as it gets.

    About the best place to stay near Westminster. Comfortable, relaxing and spoiling with fantastic views of the river.

    The hotel room is elegantly appointed. Staff are responsive, friendly, and gracious. The hotel is an easy walking distance to Embankment Tube Station, Charing Cross Train Station, and the Thames water taxi as well as multiple major London sites.

    mold spots in the shower, also the shower door didn't close properly, so every time I took a shower, water went everywhere. also there was no way for us to switch on a single bed side table lamp. it's either both or nothing.

    location was great, staff was very helpful and friendly, breakfast was good, room was spacious, minibar was replenished daily, I liked the fact that they still offer bathrobes and slippers. the heated floors and towel rack in the bathroom were a good touch.

    What let's this hotel down is the housekeeping department. It is, at best, inconsistent. On one day we had to ask for the room to be serviced, and we needed to ask on more than one occasion for the coffee and tea etc to be replenished.

    Excellent breakfast. Great ambience.

    Can't think of anything. Wished I'd stayed longer. Didn't want to leave.

    Helpful and kind staff. Great service. Very efficient and comfortable surroundings. Will definitely be back. Will sing your praises to friends, family and work colleagues.

    The automatic lights in the rooms could be a little annoying and the nespresso machine in the room was too strong for ordinary coffee drinkers.

    The location was central for the majority of things planned. The breakfast buffet was excellent and provided a very good selection of choices.

    Was very disappointed we paid for the upgrade and my friend asked for one and got a better room with complementary wine included and didn’t have to pay when we did. Very unfair.

    Location. The hotel itself was a beautiful building. Bedroom we upgraded too was spacious and the complementary refreshments and snacks was a lovely touch.

    Everything was lovely. We were a little embarrassed by not preparing before our arrival regarding tipping so we didn’t have any cash on us. I googled whilst we were there and Went by the information found there.

    Beautiful and elegant throughout. The staff were really helpful.

    Choice of main meals are very limited and unimaginative Quality of food is at best average Very poor quality toilets paper is put to shame by even the cheapest supermarket fare which spoils the image of this being an upmarket 5 star hotel.

    Location is fantastic. Beautiful hotel. Very attentive staff. Super clean Good value for money given the location. Super comfortable bed Secent breakfast

    There was no natural light in the bedrooms, and the lifts were squeaky, which woke us up. I think for a supposed 5-star hotel, this should be stated when you book. Rooms clean but dated.

    The location is amazing, the reception is lovely, and the breakfast and terrace are beautiful, with access to the gardens. It's a wonderful historic building, and the staff is great.

    We had a friend visit earlier in the year and the difference between the rooms convinced us that the lesser rate rooms are going to those who book via this site. We had mould growing everywhere in the bathroom, the daily snacks were only replenished once, and the air conditioning was quite noisy. The room felt very outdated.

    The hotel is in an amazing central location - right near Big Ben and Embankment station. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
