We had a lovely stay at the hotel, the staff were excellent, especially the concierge who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was brilliant, just what was needed before cheering on the marathon runners. Would definitely stay at the hotel again.

Location very good but this so called iconic hotel was a total disappointment false advertising its a very run down hotel charging iconic hotel prices and not delivering the product they advertised. I spoke to a manager who really wasn't interested but offered me a complementary breakfast which I declined. This spoilt what was supposed to be a romantic vacation for my wife

Beautiful hotel with brilliant staff. Could have done with more milks, coffee and tea bags. Sadly, the room beside us was very noisy. Also everytime soneone used their bathrooms the sound of the fans was very loud. A stunning hotel but not entirely soundproof. However, would stay again.

As a first time visitor to London I found the location of this hotel to be perfect. The Picadilly underground line took us directly from Heathrow to 3 blocks from this hotel. It’s a 15 minute walk to Buckingham Palace. About a 25 minute walk to Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben, and the Thames. I was able to go for a jog in Hyde Park, it’s only a mile away. Close to all the first time must see sights. I would have given 5 stars but our toilet was a little wonky.

Ahmed (bellman) went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. From the time we checked in, to our departure, he helped us with our bags, chargers, amenities for our room, and directing our transportation service around construction to get to the hotel. First class and friendly. Negatives during our stay: We had 3 in our room, and had to request a 3rd tea cup every day. Small item, but no attention to detail. Nothing could be done by the hotel, but nearby construction noise was ongoing throughout the night. Location is excellent, walkable to everything.

Great location, lovely staff and basics.

The staff were really helpful and professional and the hotel is in a great location on top of Piccadilly. There was a coffee machine (pods not topped up though) plus a kettle and lots of different teas, some sachets of coffee and one hot chocolate sachet. It would've been nice to have more than 4 little pods of milk but I'm sure if I'd asked they would've supplied more. There was also a large bottle of water with a 2nd one left in the room the next day that there was no charge for when used, which was nice. There was also an ironing board, iron, hairdryer and safe. The usual toiletries were provided and topped up. You can also request a gown and slippers if you want them. The shower was lovely and hot and good pressure. Unfortunately the room (comfort and facilities) have let it down. There were no plug sockets or usb ports to charge your phones by the bed, the fridge in the room was quite loud (we unplugged it), the aircon/heating was either baking hot or freezing cold (temperature controls had no effect, it was either on or off) and the coffee machine didn’t work properly taking several attempts to get a small cup of coffee. We didn’t report any of this so the hotel may have been able to resolve some of these issues, and when checking out we were asked if everything was ok with our stay and said yes, but there were a lot of issues and we probably would try another hotel next time and probably need to pay a little more.
