My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The easy access ground floor room was convenient, but unfortunately, the cleanliness left much to be desired. On the bright side, the breakfast was excellent.

Although the rooms are often quite small and not clean, the hotel had read my email and allocated us an easy access ground floor room, which was very helpful. The breakfast is truly excellent.

The staff quickly responded to special requests before my stay, but they seemed annoyed when we went down for breakfast at 7 am. Despite the language barrier, they were still hospitable and arranged valet parking and a hairdresser's appointment in advance.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were larger than I expected, with added luxuries like a coffee machine and bathrobes, which was lovely. However, the rooms were very small and not clean. The service was inattentive and indifferent at times, but the concierge staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient. The location was great, tucked away from the busy streets of Mayfair, convenient to many areas in London. The dining experience was extremely slow despite plenty of staff, although the choices were amazing.

I felt like a Duchess with delightful toiletries in the very comfortable bed, nice marble bathroom, and a desk and chair in my room. However, the staff might have been a bit over the top by practically including themselves in our party at the room entrance.

The dining experience was excellent, and the facilities were top-notch. However, there was a minor issue with communication that required a reminder. Overall, a great value for the money.
