Here for the afternoon tea and the jubilee menu. The sandwiches were good, dessert a bit underwhelming, scones top notch. The tea was amazing. We had the cherry blossom and rose tea, nice fragrance and full of flavour and the staff were attentive.

Attended the Charity Awards at the hotel. Great evening. The staff were wonderful. Dutiful, fast and efficient. The food was outstanding given the 500 odd people the hotel was cooking for. My first time here and I left very impressed

Stayed at this beautiful hotel multiple times now and i know i will be going back. Greeted by a friendly hotel doorman upon arrival then walking into a modern and clean reception. The reception staff are all very professional and polite making check in easy and relaxing. The hotel rooms are all finished to a high standard and very clean with good minibar and bathroom facilities. Comfy beds and no outside noise.
Breakfast was perfect and the Thai restaurant was exceptional. The assistant manager Ging is amazing and a true professional, always goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is 5*. Would recommend to anyone.

Great hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is opposite Kensington Gardens/ Hyde Park. I attended an event held at the hotel, however I did not stay in a hotel room. The venue works well for events, with different sized rooms designed for networking sessions, key note speakers, and break out sessions. The catering was great too. I would recommend.

Hotel was clean and modern, majority of the staff were polite. The room, although smaller than expected was clean & tidy. The main issue was the in room dining, due to us going to the theatre my friend and I decided to order in at the hotel. First time I called through it rang out then cut off, after it was constantly engaged. On our return we tried again numerous times, engaged every time. My friend then tried contacting the front desk who only answered when we called through externally, he appeared very uninterested in our issue.
We ended up going to sleep very hungry. As hard working paying guests we were expecting a high standard and also to be shown the same respect and attention as all the people in their tuxedo's and beautiful dresses, unfortunately this was not the case. We did not want or expect any special considerations, just to be treated equally, instead of feeling like we did not matter. I do not like making negative reviews, but I feel I need to be honest. We, unfortunately will not be making a return visit.
