7.4/10

The hotel was a bit disappointing in terms of the room, as it wasn't what we expected - not overlooking the city and feeling cold due to the doors. The room allocated to us, 210, was designed for disabled people. On the positive side, the service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff, except for a minor incident at the bar. The location was superb, centrally situated close to many London attractions. The dining experience was decent, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, it has room for improvement but is a decent choice considering the location.

The hotel rooms are on the smaller side of things but well designed, offering a fab stay with very comfy beds, high ceilings, and lovely Molton Brown fragrances throughout. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff offering assistance in various amenities. The location is fantastic, right on Trafalgar Square, making it a prime spot for central London sights.
