The rooftop bar was great, the staff were all very friendly and let me check in a couple of hours early. Location of the property is bang opposite Carnaby Street so a superb location. Its not a 5 star property however, TV in the room didn't work properly, air con was intermittent and the WiFi didn't work. The room was very clean but pretty tired.

Disappointed
Disappointed to say the least. Room was dirty. Bathroom was mouldy. Spa was hardly a spa. They class themselves as a 5* spa hotel and I cannot see how they was given this title. The location was perfect for what we was in the city for but that was all about it. The staff was rude and uninterested when I said I wanted to raise a complaint. Definitely would not visit again

The decor is dated, the room either freezing or too hot, the water in the shower was not a consistent temperature - flitting between too hot and mild - and the staff lacking in customer service / borderline unhelpful. The breakfast is massively overpriced - costs unclear and then every variation (cappucino instead of flask coffee) is extra cost. Only made clear once you’ve had it. And the suite says it can sleep 3 but what that means is double bed plus a put-me-up for one person.

Hotel was reasonably nice, conveniently situated for our stay, but the room was certainly not in keeping with what i would expect of 5 star hotel.. Long hairs all over the bathroom, stained carpets, TV impossible to operate, grimey mugs and glasses to name a few things.

There are better hotels!
We arrived at 4.30pm and I wanted to have a nice hot bath before going out for the evening. There was no hot water. So I had to go out without. i spoke to the hotel manage who informed me that it wasn't the fault of the hotel but there was a boiler issue. I pointed out it wasn't my fault either and it is certainly a necessity for a hotel to provide basic services. This did not go down well. I am still awaiting compensation from the hotel. Also the room, although nicely decorated, could have been even nicer - the net curtain was filthy and that is an easy fix and also it could have done with a nice sofa. It was however very noisy - and at 4 am we woke to the sound of workman outside emptying bottles. So no sleep and no hot water although I have to say hot water was fine in the morning but that did not help me for the evening. I would not stay there again.

The hotel is fantastic location wise, but after 6 years of visiting, I personally feel it's looking rather tired and in need of a freshen up. This is also the second year in a row that the same elevator was out of order. The staff are very friendly and always willing to assist if required.

Very dated decor, rude staff, broken items.
My key cards wouldn't open my room with 4 different sets. The staff members spoke down to me as if I'd 'put them next to my phone', after 4 trips to try and enter my room, a staff member escorted me and the 'key fob battery had run out'. The hotel is dated, items in the room were broken, and one life was out of order causing queues to get up and down. Would I stay again, no.

Not for my friends.
The hotel checks all items on the list (bar, restaurant, valet, concierge etc), but it really is just check marks. The bar is cold and lacks atmosphere + the barmaid is VERY cheap on the pours, even doubles, the restaurant in the hotel is only open for breakfast, the only other restaurant serves an indian fare that is really spicey, so you eat there once only. The valet was nice and so was the concierge. The lobby, like the bar, is cold and unattractive. The best part is the pub across the street.

Great location, decent hotel, poor for disabled
Mixed bag on this. This was our 11 year anniversary so it was a special weekend. My wife is disabled and requires a wheelchair when out and about in the likes of london. Around the room, fine to get around. The disabled access was poor. For what is stated as 5* on hotels.com, my wife had to be left outside on every instance and had to wait for me to walk all the way round to let her in myself. Almost like when you take a dog to the shops. Not great. The room was fien but the bathroom a little dated l with electrical wires showing in the mirror and whilst i accept when seeing someone in a wheelchair, you can assume it's a full time thing, it isnt and the room being a disabled one, wasn't what we'd have wanted had we been asked. Perfect location, good hotel but assumptions and treatment or lack of for disabled was far from what I'd expect. Park plaza Westminster bridge a few weeks prior were on point for the disabled.

This is by far and large one of the worst hotels and experience I have ever had. This advertised it’s self as a 5 star Luxury hotel in London… it’s anything but. It’s the most tackiest / run down / out of shape / upside down hotel ever. Let’s start with the positives. The room was a clean and tidy and you had every single sky channel. Location was great. Eastern European lady at the bar was helpful and smiley. Although she was on her own and waiting 15/20 for a drink in the hotel bar is just unacceptable. Now on to the negatives as there are loads. Arrived there for a night out in London and to use to the spa to freshen up the next day was my sole purpose of this. Rooms were basic. I’ve had better in a travel lodge. It’s so dated inside. Toilet got blocked on first flush. Very underwhelmed on arrival. Bar area had loads of visitors as this seemed to be a tourist attraction due to the apparent quirky bar. It was so tacky it was just cringe. Breakfast…save your money. Wow. Scrambled eggs were just disgusting. The sausages were raw and the bacon was like sheets of ham. I told the waiter… he was so embarrassed. When it came back up inedible and just walked out. Swimming pool - laughable Sauna - cold Gym - seen better in a 90’s garage (rather I stayed in one to be fair) Not one for a bad review but this was honestly the worst place. Would seek compensation for this stay if possible.

A good location for my purposes. However, the bedroom was very tired and gruby. It smelt damp and musky. Clean enough but just gruby. Stained tiles, ageing yellowing paint, tired carpet. All together depressing.

For a 5* Hotel, it fell very short of expectations. The amenities i.e hospitality tray, were similar to ones I have experienced in budget hotels, and frankly, stingy. Both bedroom and general areas are in need of some urgency attention. The bar was extremely expensive, even for London, and although we were informed it closed at 11.00 pm, they were closing up by 10.40. On a positive note, staff were friendly and helpful.

2 night stay for Xmas shopping, arrived at 4pm on Friday, very quick check in, clean hotel and staff were informative and friendly especially the guy outside on the door Room was small but clean, we were on the top floor which was good for the access to the rooftop bar, unfortunately we didn’t use the other bar, breakfast was fine but for £22.50 each was a bit expensive for what it was Probably not 5star but a good hotel and great location We paid around £275 per night which is not bad compared to everywhere else
