My room lacked standard amenities, such as tea and coffee. I found this disappointing. The hotel charged a pre-authorization fee of £100. I had not encountered this before. I hope to see a prompt refund to my bank account.

Excellent Boutique Hotel Experience

friendly staffsuperb locationslow service
This is a real gem. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was superb, very convenient for accessing South Kensington, museums, and Hyde Park (it's close to everything).
The bar service was quite slow. I waited a long time, even though the bar was not very busy.
