Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a very central location, extremely close to Buckingham Palace, making it so convenient for exploring the iconic sites of London. The rooms, though comfortable and well-decorated, were unfortunately very small and badly laid out, lacking storage space and with issues like a pulsing light from the wardrobe all night. The service was top-notch, with a welcoming and professional staff who spared no effort to make my stay enjoyable.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit on the small side, were luxurious and had everything I needed. The service was impeccable, with super friendly and helpful staff, especially Sandesh who made our dinner experience memorable. The location was excellent, near Victoria station, making it convenient to explore central London. The dining experience was delicious, although slightly affected by the staff's morning planning. Overall, a great hotel with some minor room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; although the room was one of the cheaper options, it was high-tech with great amenities like Chromecast, heated shower flow, and an audio system throughout. The staff took good care of us, but the room could have been a bit bigger and it took a minute or two to get to.
The hotel offers chic yet comfortable rooms with ultra-modern amenities and a fantastic central London location. While the room size may come as a surprise given the price, it remains one of the more budget-friendly options available. The service was a mix of dismissive and incredible, with standout moments from the excellent staff, especially Camilo. The location is top-notch, being near Victoria station and key attractions like Buckingham Palace. Dining experiences range from satisfying to disappointing, depending on whether it's included in the rate. The on-site facilities cater to basic needs efficiently.

The location was perfect for exploring iconic London sites. The dining experience had its ups and downs. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite interesting. The rooms were taken care of twice a day, but they barely had a tiny window and looked very different. It took me a bit of time to figure out the lights, and there were strange cubbies behind creepy photos that made me uncomfortable. I confessed, I ended up sticking something over it in the end to sleep better.
I had a bit of a mix of experiences during my stay here. The staff was friendly and took care of me well, but the rooms were on the smaller side. The location was excellent, close to Victoria station, but the dining experience wasn't seamless due to some delays. Overall, a nice place with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were decorated well and had lovely touches, but they were poorly laid out with limited storage space. The service was friendly and helpful, although room servicing needed a reminder. The location was excellent, close to attractions, but a bit challenging to find. The dining experience was overpriced with disappointing food quality. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely rooms, especially with underfloor heating in the bathroom and an excellent walk-in shower. Despite having to cover a mirror for better sleep and the small bathroom mirror, the quiet atmosphere at night was a huge plus for a restful stay.
The hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were lovely, with underfloor heating in the bathroom and a fantastic walk-in shower. The cleanliness was a bit of an issue as it was extremely dusty, but overall, very comfortable with a great shower experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of luxury and inconvenience. The room was a little small but had all the necessary amenities, though the room service was subpar. The noise from the air conditioning was bothersome. The location was excellent near Victoria station, but some noise could be heard.

Overall, a pleasant stay with some drawbacks.
