"Wonderful stay at The Langham this weekend. The staff are fantastic especially Rodrigo on reception who just makes you feel so welcome!! A credit to the hotel. Room was nice and bed super comfortable and room and bathroom cleaned spotlessly daily. Overall everything you’d expect of one of the top hotels in London. Highly recommended for a central London stay."
