Gross decorative pillows. Main concierge was also hardly any help, told me his internet was down and just didn't get back to me on how much something was. I called the front desk multiple times no answer, tried to get a wake up call. TV wouldnt work at all. Not worth the premium we paid.

The Cavendish is my go-to hotel when in London. It is a small boutique hotel and is in a great location. Walkable to everything - the theater, tourist attractions, restaurants, etc. The rooms are small if you don't get a Deluxe (I wouldn't go smaller than a Superior). Bathrooms are decent size. Love that you have water bottles for you each day. Was a bit disappointed with the staff this time around, other than housekeeping the front desk staff and bellmen need some training in customer service. Highly recommend this hotel.

Noisy but nice

It was noisy as we were next to the lift and street/road noise was loud. Could also hear upstairs in the middle of the night and morning.

Room was tidy. Small issue witht the TV was resolved by staff in a short time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Soundproofing between rooms not the best. Banging of metal sheeting somewhere in the vicinity woke me around 3 am on both nights I stayed - extrrnal to hotel but I was compensated without asking

There isn’t enough space or time to describe how wonderful this hotel is. Firstly, the location is so excellent, so many stores nearby and central. However the highlight of this hotel is the staff. They truly go above and beyond with their helpfulness and kindness. Keith, Ahmed, and the rest of the team are so lovely and helpful, and make the trip so special. This is my family’s 4th stay, and we cannot wait to go back.
