My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, although on the smaller side, were clean and comfortable, except for the inconvenience of the 3 steps up to the bathroom that might pose a challenge for guests with mobility issues. The service was top-notch, with friendly and very helpful staff making my stay enjoyable. The location was ideal for exploring London's key attractions, offering convenience and a quiet night's sleep. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some meals being delicious while others were less impressive. Overall, a decent value for the money spent.

The hotel feels like a true home away from home, with its charming English vibe. The rooms are clean and comfortable but on the smaller side. The service is top-notch, accommodating, and professional. The location is perfect for exploring London's top sights, though a bit unsettling at night. The dining experience is a mix of excellent American bar offerings and some unpleasant aspects. The facilities are dignified and adequate for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly like a home away from home, with comfortable and chic rooms facing a cobbled courtyard. The furnishings were beautifully updated, and despite the room size being smaller, it added to the charm. The central location was ideal for exploring the city, but cocktails were a bit pricey even for London standards.

The hotel is in a superb location, tucked away on a quiet street near Green Park, making it a peaceful oasis in the heart of London. The rooms have a lovely cosy feel to them, although some areas of the decor may appear a bit tired. The service was exceptional, with warm and welcoming staff who went out of their way to assist me. However, the dining experience lacked variety in menu options. Overall, the hotel offers a great value for the convenient location and friendly service.

My stay at the hotel was an unforgettable experience. The rooms had a beautiful country feel to them with a massive modern bathroom, and I especially enjoyed staying in the old Stables, which had a peaceful and special ambiance. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they were a bit small. The view facing the cobbled courtyard was gorgeously comfortable and chic, adding to the charm of the accommodation.

The hotel offers a comfortable and chic stay in a central London location with great daytime experiences and perfect city walking access. While the rooms are cozy, they lack an openable window, making them warm at night. The staff, especially including Charlie the doorman, are incredibly helpful and welcoming from arrival to departure. The dining experience varies but overall satisfactory, with the American Bar serving a range of options, although the dairy products could be better. The location receives top marks for its convenience and proximity to Green Park tube station.
