4.5 star ratingWe get renovated rooms which was very nice, but the problem was one room smells humid and in no room we could find a heating and it was 6 °C outside. So we open the bathroom door to heat the rooms. When I complainted at the desk they told me that there is no heating installed yet as the rooms have been just renovatedpetra06 March 2012
4.0 star ratingPleasant size of superior room. Location was really great for our purposes. Cleaning staff very pleasant.Very small bathroom in the superior room. No baby cot was in our room on arrival which had been requested. The trainee on reception (Aurora) was clueless and her spoken english was poor so there was a lengthy delay as some problems arose with our booking as we were one of 3 rooms in a group booking - the lack of comprehension was extremely frustrating. Most of the concierge during our stay were not particularly friendly.marsha26 March 2012
4.0 star ratinggreat location. walking distance to buckingham palace, houses parliament and st james tube stn. plenty of cafes, pubs and shops close by. all staff friendly, efficient and helpful.we booked a smoking room so not a refurbished room. quite small room, although the bathroom a good size. the room a bit old and tired but perfectly adequate!20 June 2012
2.0 star ratingCentral courtyard and building architecture very nice.Room 870 - Room very small and not well maintained. Windows did not close fully so could hear outside noise throughout the night. Bathroom door handle very loose. Mixer tap very loose. Curtains did not fully close properly. Room service porter did not speak english and didn't know check out times, although was pleasant. Food quality of room service was quite poor and small portion size, and poor value for money. 01 March 2013
4.0 star ratingVery quiet and a great location. Staff are professional and friendly. Not a critisicm but due to the sheer size, you walk through very long coridoors to get to your room. Half of the hotel that is renovated is bang up to date. The rest half I.e the cheaper rooms are at the back of the hotel stuck in 1980s!Vineeta02 March 2013
