There is no early check in. Flight came in at 6 am and check-in was at 3 pm. Can leave luggage in cloakroom and go wandering till room is ready.Went to book a taxi next evening and the concierge said it will be 100 pounds without even asking where I was going. ( uber turned out to be 42 pounds sterling). Maybe he was trying to get out of the hassle of booking. Other reception staff were quite helpful for check in and out. English breakfast was ok but for some reason bacon was not quite right on the two days we stayed there.

Overall stay was pleasant, room spacious, minor defaults in room, quiet and great location. We would stay again. Only let down was the fire alarm incident which happens, the no communication from staff on why it occurred wasn’t great. Thank you
