Fabulous hotel that is clean, quiet, and has excellent attentive service in a great central location! Easy walk to Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Parliament. Many good dining options within one block. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again on our next visit to London!

Gem of a hotel with excellent customer service
Very new and swanky hotel a few minutes walk to Buckingham Palace, the Eye, Westminster Abbey etc. Great location. The room was richly appointed but small size wise with no view. Our room was not quite ready at check-in which was disappointing. We then had an issue with the door handle breaking off but the staff were good about fixing it right away and even gave us a fruit basket apology with a handwritten note. The complimentary water bottles, milk, coffee and tea were a nice touch.
