Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms that function well despite being a bit small with loud noise from the Tube. While I appreciate the eclectic decor by Kit Kemp, it leans towards a darker, more masculine style than I prefer. The rooms vary in size but are extremely comfortable with unique decor. The service is highly professional and welcoming, making me feel at home. The location is convenient with nearby public transport and plenty of dining options, although buffet choices are limited. The dining experience was tasty but could use more juice options. The hotel has excellent facilities, but the dining selection could be expanded further.
The hotel offered clean and reasonably sized rooms, but might feel too cramped for taller guests. The service, themed with cricket nuances, was welcoming, friendly, and professional. Its exceptional location near Marylebone and attractions like Sherlock Holmes Museum and Wembley made it convenient. The dining experience was satisfactory but would benefit from a broader savory selection. Overall, a cozy stay with great service and strategic location at the heart of London.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean, but the lack of a view was disappointing. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist me. The location was convenient but slightly cramped, providing easy access to transport and dining options. The dining experience was good but could have offered more variety. Overall, a decent stay with some notable positives and negatives.
The hotel is situated in a charming area in London, just a short walk from Baker Street. The rooms, although a bit snug, are clean and have nice new bathrooms. The service is exceptional, especially from the friendly and genuine Colombian gentlemen. The dining experience, while very nice, may have some additional charges for items like coffee and juice. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and a central location.
The hotel may be a bit pricier compared to others, but it falls short in terms of room amenities for business trips. The rooms, albeit small, feature great beds and linens, making them perfect for a weekend getaway. The service is consistently exceptional, with a lovely and accommodating staff always ready to assist. The location is convenient, just a short walk from Baker St tube station, offering access to various bars and eateries. The dining options are of high quality but could use a wider range. Overall, a charming hotel with a few drawbacks.
