Fabulous location with excellent staff.
7.0The hotel was in a great location with easy access to the underground for travelling to locations. The staff were exceptional, polite and friendly. There was an excellent choice for breakfast and delicious evening menu with friendly service creating a calm relaxed atmosphere.
Sadly our first night was not good. There was no bottom sheet on the bed and an issue with the lights which meant we had to leave them on all night resulting in a restless night. The staff attempted to resolve the issues but eventually the only option was to move to a different room.

Lovely hotel in a great location- would definitely stay there again.
9.0The location is exceptional. Two-minute walk to the Embankment tube station. Easy walk to Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square. I traveled with a friend, so we booked a twin room. It was roomy and had nice city views. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the location is not noisy. We had din…
Our only complaint was the water pressure in the shower, and bathroom was a little tight, but not unexpected for the age of the building. This might sound silly, but when our room was made up every day they never replaced our water glasses, instead put a paper over the top. We were there six nights and it would have be…

It was great and I look forward to returning.
9.0We were delighted to be shown the ball rooms and the room where Churchill had meetings..
HMMM. We were very happy with almost everything. I booked with a booking service therefore was not able to get a refund for the days we could not stay. E.H. Parker had to return to the USA due to heart issues. I plan to take this up with them since I am now back in the USA. I also think I left a bag with a new pa…

We had a twin room my only recommendation would be the lighting by the coffee machine so when you dont want the whole room lit up you can still see to make a drink

Very nice one nights stay, but rather expensive for a room with no view.
8.0Warm reception staff. Comfortable surroundings.
Window in room looked out not a wall. The coffee machine did not work easily, I had to ask a member of staff to switch it on. She did not speak English so could not explain it to me.
