Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were equipped with all necessities, but the bathroom was quite small. On the bright side, the bed was incredibly comfortable. The service, though, certainly made up for any shortcomings in the room.

The hotel is located in a ritzy district, in a very expensive area of London, offering a very quiet environment. It felt strange to be asked for passport ID when visiting one's own capital city, even in proximity to an embassy. The hotel serves the best fried bacon in London, included in the dining experience, among other tropical fruits.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but it was a downside that there was no drinking water available. The service was top-notch, making me feel right at home. The location in an upscale neighborhood was ideal for a quiet retreat, though being on lower floors meant less impressive views. Dining, with the best fried bacon in London, was a delightful experience, but it would have been perfect if some finger food options were included. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and amenities at a fairly reasonable price.

The rooms are well-equipped with all necessities, but unfortunately, there is no drinking water available. The service was exceptional, and although the price was a bit on the higher side, the value for money was evident.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, situated in an upscale neighborhood and just a stone's throw away from Victoria station. The rooms, albeit on the lower floors, have the charm of Victorian classics and are equipped with all necessities. The service was fantastic, and the dining experience, with the best-fried bacon in London served, was a real highlight. However, being asked for passport ID when visiting the UK capital felt a bit odd. Overall, a wonderful experience with a mix of positives and minor drawbacks.

The hotel is located in an upscale neighborhood, which was nice, but being asked for passport ID in my own capital city felt strange. However, the hotel is very close to Victoria station, making it convenient for transportation. The dining experience stood out with the best-fried bacon I've had in London. Overall, a comfortable stay with great dining but room for improvement in the bathroom size.
