8/10 Good
"The room was excellent and quiet. I slept well which is a huge compliment to the hotel, as that’s rare for me. Very comfortable bed with perfect linen. The bathroom suffers from design faults but was fine. For example, you can’t reach the bath taps, once you are lying in the bath. But the bath and shower and availability of of hot water was excellent. The breakfast service was poor. The tea water (self-service) was lukewarm and there was no oat milk. Staff seemed overwhelmed. The bar service was slow due to demand outstripping staffing levels. The staff worked very hard and did a long shift. I gave up waiting to order a drink before heading out to my event but stuck with it at 10.30pm when I arrived back. A great cocktail when I got it, Perfect location almost opposite Piccadilly station and opposite a late night Sainsburys. I’ll return, but I hope they can employ more staff to make it an even better experience."
