I was in London over the weekend and needed somewhere to stay last minute.... I must admit - this hotel was fantastic... From the moment you find it... and walk in, there is an aura about the place which is gives it that 5* plush luxurious feel....

It is easy to find your way around and whilst I chose not to eat at any of the restaurants (as I already had plans to meet friends) there were a few to choose from, and had I been staying longer, I would have done.

The purpose of my trip was to see a friend for their birthday in a bar very closeby and being walking distance was fantastic - Valet Parking is expensive at £35 for the night, but there is plenty of off road parking close by which on a Sat night doesn't cost anything and the area is so quiet that cars are safe.

I must admit that while the foyer and courtyard are lovely, the view from the room is awful - there is nothing to see because there are secured windows and outside of those is a white wall... you literally have a tiny window outside as a view and because you have to look up to see it - there is no view at all... a shame really but I guess they must have their reasons for doing that... luckily i was not staying in the hotel for very long - literally to get ready and go out, so this did not affect me on this trip.
