The hotel is tucked away in the heart of a fashionable neighborhood in central London, offering proximity to many top attractions. While the rooms were mostly peaceful, they suffered from early morning noise due to deliveries and were quite small, necessitating careful suitcase management. My night's rest was disturbed by noise from reception and staff, requiring earplugs for comfort.

8.0/10

The hotel is tucked away in the heart of Mayfair, hidden from the bustle yet a stone's throw away from it, offering a peaceful retreat close to top attractions. The rooms are very clean but on the smaller side for London standards, and mine wasn't ready upon arrival. The service staff, despite being busy, were warm, friendly, and always helpful. Dining was good in the renovated restaurant, and the location is ideal for exploring London on foot.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very well proportioned for London, with a huge over-sized bath tub, and they were mostly quiet, although there was some noise from deliveries early in the morning. The service was top-notch, with incredibly attentive and friendly staff who made my stay memorable. The location was fantastic, tucked away in a quiet side road in central London but still close to major attractions and high-end shopping. The dining experience was substantial and excellent, although a bit pricey for what I ordered.
