I stayed 3 nights in the "cozy" room - by cozy they actually mean tiny, with no door for the bathroom. It was comfortable and clean tough, there was tea, coffee and some cookies. Toiletries were nice. Staff was really helpful, breakfast was very good and complete - I do recommend the pancakes! Breakfast gets busy around 8.30. Location was excellent, near Covent Garden.

Rooms are too small for international travelers. No place to store your bags. No countertop for your toiletries. Shower does not drain therefore overflowing onto the floor. Entrance has stairs with no one to assist you with bags. Only positive was the breakfast. I would never stay here again.

DO NOT purchase or goto the 70 rip off afternoon tea. I know who a proper tea service should work and this was AWFUL.

Nice stay for one night. We checked in at ~14:30. There was a long queue to check in with 3 people on the desk. Some people were taking a very long time so it was a bit of a wait although when we checked in, it was very quick and efficient. We chose a room on a high floor but was surprised to see a pile of towels on the floor outside our room. Room was nice, bed comfortable but the pillows were a bit flat.
They are those style where you lay your head and everything moves to the sides. The windows don't open very far and are half covered by shutters so you don't get a lot of natural night or fresh air. Bathroom was clean and the shower was nice. Due to the price we paid and the great location, we'll stay here again.

My room was excellent, clean and comfortable with the extra pillows as I requested. From the moment I arrived to departure assistance with taxi, every member of staff I met was exceptionally kind, thoughtful helpful friendly = excellent. I'd like to thank them all, they'll know me, the lady using the tripod walker (to assist mobility) - Big big thank you. it meant so much. I now am brave enough to travel to London again! xx

Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and we needed to cancel our booking. We had booked a month in advance and our request for cancellation was in less than 24hr after booking, but the hotel said they would not cancel our $500 reservation. I don't see how cancelling our booking would harm their schedule in any way, especially when we were willing to pay a cancellation fee, but this business is more interested in sticking to their "non-cancellation policy" aka "keeping my money" than maintaining a customer happy and being willing to work with her.
Most businesses in the industry are being extremely flexible given the unpredictability of the Covid situation across the world and here they refuse to cancel a booking weeks in advance. That definitely speaks volumes about this institution. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this hotel, they will steal your money without you ever setting foot in their location.

Very expensive, but this is to be expected and is indeed reflected in the service (which was exemplary) and location. However, the superior double room we had, while nicely decorated, was tiny and definitely not worth the price paid. Although I must admit, the shower was amazing. Incredibly powerful and piping hot. We would stay again, but would try to get a larger room.
