Dear Stephanie,Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay with us. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations due to the absence of certain amenities you were unable to find.I would like to clarify that while mini-fridges are available upon request at no additional cost, they can be easily obtained by asking at reception. As for the hairdryers, they are standard in all our rooms, placed in the chest of drawers. We apologise if this was not readily apparent during your stay, and we are looking into ways to make this information more accessible to our guests upon their arrival.We understand the importance of having these conveniences available, and your feedback is invaluable as it helps us improve our service and ensure a more comfortable experience for all our guests.We sincerely hope to have another opportunity to host you, with assurances of more attentive service to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.Thank you once again for your comments.Warm regards,Lucia GouwsHotel Manager

This hotel is a great find, it’s close to everything you could need and the dining options in the area are great. It’s in walking distance to Oxford Street, SoHo, West End theatres etc. the hotel itself has good sized rooms and the decor is lovely. There was an issue with my room which i reported which did not get attended to however the follow up from the management team was great. I really feel that if you had any issues when staying at this hotel they would take it seriously and do whatever they could to rectify it. If highly recommend this hotel if staying in London.

Nice stay
Well located old style hotel with lots of gild and wood. Very clean room and comfy bed. The air conditionning is noisy (but easy to blank out after a while) and a bit fiddly to use. Strong wifi. Towels were changed despite me leaving them hanging and not on the floor.

Martina was dream! Absolute star employee! the property was gorgeous and clean and quaint. The location was perfect, smack dab in the heart of Soho. The staff was super kind and helpful. The only issue I had, was that we were woken up almost everyday of our stay early by extremely loud construction and drilling inside the building in the rooms right above us. It was a really uncomfortable experience, but overall, the staff and property were lovely. :)

Convenient, stylish home base in London
This was a lovely, well kept, historical hotel and a very convenient home base for nearby parks, restaurants, pubs! Room service daily was extraordinary as was hotel desk/bar service. My only thoughts are to have that nice lobby fireplace actually lit on a rainy evening, and I don’t know that I would say the hotel has a bar. Rather there is someone there who will mix a drink for you to sit in the lobby to relax after a busy day. Nice touch. We enjoyed our 5 nights there.

There was a slight error with expedias booking system but the hotel went above and beyond to resolve for us and as it was a special occasion went to so much extra effort to make us feel spoilt. Lovely staff especially the duty manager and the lovely lady who helped with my allergies during breakfast. Very accomodating. Made me two slices of gluten free toast and provided oat milk on request. As they they offered this it made whar could have been very limited continental- a really refreshing and lovely breakfast. Few things to consider - hot food isnt availble at the hotel so just ensure you have planned ahead if arriving late. So many lovely places to eat. The club suit was lovely. Although smaller than we had booked originally, cannot fault the cleanliness of the hotel and the nice little touches. Slippers and robe. Coffee machine. All the stuff you need is available on request (except hot food). But as a chain in an area surrounded by great places to eat i didnt see this as a negative. Really nice place to stay would thoroughly recommend and once available, love to stay in one of the suits. Kindest regards to the staff and management team. Lily

This hotel was a great option for us. Our room, a double standard was very roomy as well as was the bathroom. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs close by and shops also close with Goodge Street underground being the closest underground station. The hotel has a lovely lobby with small bar area and the staff were all very lovely. We were very happy with our stay, we would happily stay again and recommend this hotel to family and friends!
