"Terrible hotel"
Very unimpressed with this hotel! Check in was a very stressful experience as the hotel claimed they hadn`t received payment for our booking and wanted a further payment from us which we refused as our booking was already paid for. We then found leftover food in the minibar fridge in one of the rooms and mould on the bathroom ceiling. The hotel staff were generally unhelpful and didn`t seem to care when we addressed any concerns to them. Just found my entire stay at this hotel to be more negative than positive and will not stay here again. Please avoid staying at this hotel as there are much better hotels in London

Room was good, clean and fresh. Had to ask for a clean mug, extra tea bags and light to be fixed, this was responded to straight away.

"Needs a sparkle in some areas"
On the whole the hotel was fine, loved the position, service from the reception staff was excellent, rooms were clean but there was a little something not quite there as we have found in other hotels. The cleaning staff seemed ro take up the whole corridor with their trolleys etc making it difficult with bags to pass. The breakfast team could have done with a little more training as well.

"Very clean and lovely staff"
From the moment you walk in, you know you`re going to have a good stay. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the staff are extremely accommodating and helpful and the decor is stylish and modern. Will definitely be staying here again

"Dont book this hotel ."
The hotel looks good on the website, but room descriptions are very misleading. Dont be fooled by `superior room`! Had big issues which front desk promised to address and they did not. Many folk obviously disenchanted...Hotel failed to provide requirements that were clearly requested. Room changed 3 times..and then final room very noisy adjacent to main Waterloo lines... Management needs training...first and last visit.
