“The location is undeniably prime, near Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street, and certain rooms come with access to a club lounge, offering complimentary drinks; I think families might appreciate the consideration given to children's menus and family accommodations. However, some aspects, like the dated interiors mentioned in reviews, temper the overall impression of luxury, in my opinion.”

The location was superb. the staff were very friendly. i had a fabulous view from my room. the pool was such an added bonus. It was a massive pool and very quiet!!!
I contacted the hotel weeks prior to my arrival, requesting an early check-in. this request was not fulfilled. I was directed to the lounge with complimentary drinks. They are the worst i have ever encountered in a hotel.
