Upon my arrival at the hotel, I found the room was not ready even though it was past the 2 pm check-in time, and the staff seemed unhelpful. Despite the 24/7 service, there was no food available, and the receptionist appeared indifferent. On a positive note, the room was clean, and the bathroom was perfect in size. However, the room itself was quite small, to the extent that I accidentally hit my foot on the desk and ended up fracturing my toe. The room wasn't ready at 11 am as promised, but this wasn't a significant issue for me.

From my perspective, the main advantage of this hotel was its location. It was walking distance to most tourist spots, some within minutes, making it very convenient. However, at times, it was crowded and noisy due to the proximity of the lounge area.

Dining

The dining experience had its ups and downs. On one hand, there were several gluten-free options available and the breakfast had plenty of choices, fitting for a pleasant morning meal. On the other hand, the cost was unexpectedly high, nearly £40 for two people, which was disappointing considering the class of the hotel.

The hotel offers elegant and very clean rooms with a beautiful balcony and a little patio with French doors, although on the smaller side, they are adequate. The room amenities include bathrobes, slippers, and even free cold drinks, but my room had a slightly blocked sink. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable and friendly staff, although they seemed to neglect tidiness at the buffet at times. The location is excellent, perfect for exploring the Shard and the Tate Modern Gallery, conveniently situated between two tube stations with easy access to public transportation. The dining experience was pleasant, with a good variety of food, although it could use some more options. Overall, a prime location with friendly staff and a cozy room, but room for slight improvements in some services.

The location was excellent, being halfway between two tube stations on different lines, with a bus stop almost outside the door, and a pleasant walk across the Millennium Bridge to the St Pauls area. The hotel is in a prime situation, with friendly staff, but slightly difficult to use for wet shaving.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were reasonably priced for the great location, although mine was a bit small but clean and well maintained. However, there was a slight inconvenience with a blocked sink not being fixed. The service was attentive and even left a personal note and treats in my room, but they seemed overwhelmed by a difficult customer when I arrived. The location was perfect with easy access to various attractions and public transport. The dining was satisfactory with good options, but the organization could have been better. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
