A great hotel with the politest staff, in all areas, that I have ever encountered. Room comfortable, spacious and very clean. Good choice at breakfast. Only tiny criticism was the hot food was a little on the cold side but still very tasty. Highly recommend this hotel

It was a nice property overall but the room was very small for a family of 4...understand its an older hotel. No control over the thermostat as it did get quite warm in the room...I did try using it on the wall, however, nothing was happening. Very friendly staff and yes, we would stay there again.

There was confusion on arrival because they had no record of my booking the room for an extra night. Check in took a while and I'm not sure why they asked for the identity of my partner. There was no tea or coffee making facility in the room but this was rectified the second night on request.

If you need internet for work while at this hotel , forget about it. It is painfully slow. Google mail won’t open unless you refresh 5-10 times. Condition of the hotel - dated. Lots of marble, that probably was looking nice in the 70s. No A/C , so prepare to sleep with the windows open. If you do sleep with your windows open, the building near has big A/C units so you will hear that noise the entire night. Stains on the carpet, musty smell. I don’t know why this property is advertised as 4 stars. Should be 1 or 2.

First time staying at this hotel, located in a quiet area of Westminster but plenty of shops/cafes around the area (although when we were staying a lot were closed), Big Ben, Westminster Abbey are a 10 minute walk away. The hotel itself is a bit old fashioned but very clean and has all the amenities you would want, a great base! Some work was going on during our stay so we were woken up to drilling noises some days and the water wasn’t working for half the day on one of the days either which wasn’t the most ideal. Our room had a lovely balcony which overlooked a football pitch which was nice to relax on after a long day! Will happily return here.

Really not great at all!
We had no hot water, we had to take freezing cold showers. The iron was broken in my room and when I used it it leaked all over my shirt just before we went out. The kettle in our room was also broken, when I boiled it I had to sit with it and hold the button down. Nothing seemed to work and while it didn’t ruin my partners birthday it certainly put a dampener on what was supposed to be a happy relaxed experience. By the end of the trip we almost found it funny that nothing worked in the room as it should. I don’t like to complain but for the price of the room I expected much more than I got.

Comfortable, convenient and friendly
Staff is amazing. We needed extra pillows and within two minutes, there was a knock on our door to fill our request. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean. Location is within a short walk of many iconic places. This was a great find, and we plan on staying again on our next visit.

Impeccable service/high quality
Great stay. Surprise trip away for my girlfriend's 29th birthday. The hotel was great and organised a cake and fruit basket for us at an extra charge. Added the extra touch of balloons and a card (girlfriend said that was very sweet). Had an afternoon tea at The Wellington just around the corner, very nice!! The room was great size wise and even had our own little balcony. The bathroom has a bath/shower combo with great pressure and it was honestly nice to have a bath as we only have a shower at home. The food was of high quality and the staff on duty were always exceeding polite! Even provided us larger drinking glasses for water and an extension cable as there were limited plugs. They even provided complimentary little slippers which was a well appreciated touch! We opted not to have the room serviced as there wasn't really a need, you don’t replace towels/bed linen after every use at home so no need while away, easy to clean up after yourselves. Only downsides were not enough plugs, small teacups, no coat rack for outside jackets, lack of communication with The Wellington regarding having prepaid for afternoon tea and silverfish in the bathroom (reported to reception on departure - not before as it isn't necessarily preventable/their fault, only really reported so they knew and could take action if needed)

The building doesn't have air conditioning, there was loud construction going on, on the first floor during the day. They purposefully set off the fire alarm multiple times during the day. On our last day there one of the maid staff came into our room without knocking and quickly closed the door seeing we were in the room.

Comfortable but needs a revamp
This hotel felt dated and need of modernising. Seeing the wall paper peeling off the walls was slightly alarming at first but all the facilities worked well and it was very comfortable with attentive staff. This could be such a nice boutique hotel with a little investment. The coffee and tea wasn’t very nice, which was a shame even in a travel lodge you’d get Yorkshire Tea, so it was a shame as it could be so nice with a revamp and better tea.
