"Great Hotel........."

We spent 3 days at this Hotel and had a great time. The staff we attentive without being overbearing. The rooms were very good, with everything we needed, ie coffee/tea facilities, bathroom products. The only slight downside was that the rooms that are shown on line with views over the Thames were only Executive ones,even though we upgraded we only had a view of the building next door. The bar and dining room were a joy as we could sit and watch the world go by on the river. All in all we did enjoy our stay

"Satisfied customers "

Very nice hotel. Modern and slick. Room size nice and spacious for us. Bathroom with separate shower cubicle and full bath. Only took breakfast in hotel but had everything we required. Buffet style service mostly and all fresh and promptly refreshed. Corridors very presentable. No long waits for lifts. Reception and entrance staff answered all queries - maybe a Little aloof though. Within walking distance of Westminster, Trafalgar Square right up to Piccadilly Circus. Would recommend and would stay again.

"Despite booking a superior room our "view" was another wing of the hotel about 10 yards away."

We changed rooms and my husband had to repair the shower door, which allowed water on to the floor. The reading light in the ceiling didn`t work and was taped up. Staff knocked on the door and walked in to check the minibar/fridge, which initially would` open. We were charged £12 83 for three bottles of non alcoholic beer. This included a 12.5% service charge, even though we had poured the drink ourselves. When we queried the charge, the survey waitress simply said they charge this on all bar purchases. We queried at reception and were told to se the duty manger. There was never a duty manger available - (s)he was `somewhere in the hotel`. Expensive for poor service. Breakfast was average but at least the food was warm. If you fancy an omelette the extra cost was £9.50.

"A nice place to stay"

This was the second time we have stayed at this hotel. It is a nice hotel, conveniently placed for many places of interest and it gives good value for money. Good breakfasts and courteous staff. We had problems with the room not being serviced on one of the days of our stay(until we asked at 16.00). The room was hot, the AC did not work and the window was locked.so an uncomfortable night

"Ok"

So stayed here with my girfriend on sat night, on arrival noticed a lot of building works local and to the hotel but wasn`t to fussed, so arrived about 45 mins before check in but the room was ready and they was happy for us to enter early, we was offered a room with an interior view or exterior view, the way the girl at reception put it was that the exterior view would be facing the river so we chose this option, on arrival into the room the first thing we done was to check the view only to discover it was of a back alley with a train track, now although we didn`t expect any nice view prior to booking I think they should of stated the view point of the room after giving us options, the room itself was basic but perfect for what we needed it for, one thing I would say is the room was very cold on arrival so we put the heating on straight away, the air con sounding like a hurricane and was well to noisy, Breakfast was standard with friendly staff

"Nice classy hotel"

This hotel was in a nice location,and was very nice, apart from our bedroom carpet which was dirty and damaged and really let it down. Apart from that couldnt fault it, fab bathroom, all you could possibly need, brilliant breakfast. Would stay again.

"Nice hotel with great river views"

The xxxxx xxxxx is a nice hotel with spacious, clean rooms and helpful staff. When we arrived the room we were given did not have the river view we were expecting and we had to upgrade which cost us an extra £60 so be careful when booking. It was worth it though as the river view was great. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped but if you order room service be sure to ring them when you have finished or your trays and dishes will be outside your door for at least 24 hours. The staff are very helpful and friendly and will respond quickly and politely to anything you ask for.

"Decent accommodation at a fair price"

Had a wet winters weekend in London, this hotel is of a good quality and fairly priced. There is currently some building work going on and we overlooked a hotel in construction, neither of which had a particularly negative impact apart from visually. Rooms clean and modern, room service unusually good value, breakfast was of a decent standard too. Hotel very busy due to a wedding group, so cues for lifts and breakfast room. Nice efficient polite staff.

"Hotel scores good rather than excellent because of train lines behind and construction site next doo"

Staff friendly and helpful.we were given a great map by the concierge which showed all sights, underground stations and where to catch the water buses.Breakfast delicious, room comfortable. They stored our bags on the last day so we could go off sight seeing and we collected around 7pm just before we caught the train home. This meant we could enjoy our last day to the full. The hotel was a few minutes walk from Lambeth bridge so convenient for sight seeing. The only complaint were the train lines at the back which interrupted our sleep due to the noise and we were on the side of the hotel. This was a shame!!! Maybe thicker glazing would help- I tried ear plugs! Apart from that we had an enjoyable stay.

"Weekend Show Break"

We loved the positioning of the hotel and the breakfast and the comfort and cleanliness. Rooms have internet access that plugs straight into the back or your laptop or wifi. However the room was very hot and couldn`t figure out how to cool it down, there was no airflow from the open window. The rooms that do not face the Thames are dark therefore seems as if its dark and night time all day long (not sure if that`s to do with the work currently going or it`s permanent). Our bags sat in reception for over an hour on arrival as the entrance staff didn`t correctly mark our bags even after double checking with him to make sure what room we were in. Once we called down this was resolved. The TV was very temperamental with channels constantly freezing and disrupting films. I`d use the hotel again but would request a river view room

"Great central hotel ideal for a weekend break"

Can`t fault the hotel or the staff. It was very clean and to a high standard. However, the heating system was noisy and kept us awake at night...

"Great brekkie"

Very good but a lot of rooms only have view over internal quad. We asked for an alternative, and after being shown one which was on eye level with the railway tracks, we were given one with a bit of a river view. Staff great, brekkie very good.
