The location and views are both world class, one star for each. The overflowing toilet (ours and at least 1 other on our floor), no Power points anywhere near the beds (an issue for those with overnight medical devices), wifi that didn’t work for 3/4 of our stay, and mould in the bathroom however were pretty woeful. A poor very out dated hotel in one of London premier locations, disappointing when the photos are incredible, but the product is lackluster. While the staff did try to help, you can’t polish a turd.

My room has dead lights every where. There was no heating working. They added a water heating device. I was double charged for my meal. A burger cost $60 Canadian! I asked for a wake up call the 3 days I stayed there and received no call after I confirmed the night before. Overall a horrible experience but great view. 😂

Hotel was in an excellent location and the tower view was exceptional. Concierge were very helpful, check in was quick and easy. The room was spacious but I was disappointed to find no fridge. To me this is a very basic amenity but found out you need to upgrade your room to have the “luxury” of a fridge. There was the space for a fridge in the room but it was locked. When travelling with a young child not having a fridge was an inconvenience.
