We arrived at the hotel at 11pm only to be told that due to 'Maintenance' our rooms were nolonger available and that they would need to relocate us to a sister hotel. The staff were disorganised and unfriendly. There was no offer of a complimentary beverage or clarification on which sister hotel we were heading to. It was totally disorganised us and many other guests. We had paid for a 'Tower view' room at an addition cost and of course were not going to get a tower view. there was no offer of compensation. This is now left to us to pursue. Customer service was very poor.

The hotel is close to a bunch of tourist attractions that are accessible through the public transportation system which is walking distance away. Great location for those looking to enjoy London and what it has to offer. Only downside is that the climate control in the room isn’t working and they had a heater in the room which barely made a difference in the temperature of the room. But would definitely return!

Stunning view

The view from our room outweighs any complaints: just stunning! The desk staff guy was so nice and accommodating. The bathrooms need a little work though. We had the family room and the set up was large and perfect.
