The concierge was very helpful. Absolutely no complaints about the stay. The room was very clean as well. Location is great for tourists, with the hotel being very close to the transit station.
Perfect for a night at Albert hall. Rooms were lovely, breakfast was spot on and we upgraded that ended us saving money that the staff told us about. Would highly recommend
We had a club room which was good, decent size and clean. View from room was very good also. Breakfast was in club lounge and was ok, had better but was included so can’t complain. Location was great and will stay here again
Staff are helpful and polite, sorted a couple of requests promptly. Good choice at breakfast and cooked food was fresh and hot.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Good location for the Albert Hall but the hotel is in need of a refresh (bathroom ceiling plaster coming down). Wasn't happy to have to pay to leave luggage after checking out
I big shout out to Dina and RIBA for sorting out some problems that arose. Staff are incredibly helpful. Hotel is great location. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. I stay here several times a month. Become a Millenium Member to get free upgrades. Fantastic place to stay.
Location was safe and close to underground and buses. Staff always were ready and available to help out. Rooms were spacious and clean. Entire hotel was very clean and well
Maintained. Would definitely recommend and return.
This is an excellent world class hotel. All amenities were good. I wonder if the process of charging for early check-in when clean rooms are availbale is wiely accepted. 30£ for 2 1/2 seemed excessive.
