Because of the location I would stay again by myself. Not suitable for a family vacation. The cost was easily affordable. (108493343)

positive comments Check in was easy at the front desk. Location was GREAT. Lobby was interesting. Staff members were helpful with keeping luggage until check in time.
negative comments The wait for the check in was long. Rooms way to small. No lounge facilities. Internet gave problems.

negative comments Room was sold as a Deluxe Double but was a very small room. small double bed with one side against wall. When I raised this with reception on check out I was told I must have had a small deluxe room.....as all of the rooms were deluxe..

Overall the hotel and the room were very nice, comfortable and convenient. The check-in and out gave us the feeling of a very cold business attitude. You did not feel very welcomed. The stuff gave us the facts and did not show any will to do more than that. The location is great. (97318156)

positive comments The design of the room. The amenities in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The location is great.
negative comments The room was not that clean. The towel rack was not warm.

N from Sibsey, Boston, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 28 August 2006

We booked via the internet. Although confirmation of booking was received, this had not appeared on the computer screen on arrival, and it thus caused a slight delay in the booking process. It was lovely to see Rhodes restaurant. We were not aware of this. Also, we did not bring our gym attire - we were not aware that there was a gym at the hotel, although this would have been more relevant if our stay had been longer. Generally, superb hotel and we look forward to coming again on our next visit. (3305238270)

positive comments Modern, fresh, room carefully designed to provide all the essentials to make the stay memorable.
negative comments Did not dislike anything

MALCOLM from WELLINGBOROUGH, United Kingdom;GB (Other) 19 July 2006

The hotel is generally very good, but the reception area is a bit chaotic as there are no information signs - reception, toilets etc. Also, there is no dedicated areas for smokers/non-smokers, thus non-smokers ang guests with young children are left in smoky areas. (3304418772)

positive comments It was clean and functional
negative comments Room no 2015 1. Tha bed (double)is positioned tight against a wall, thus only allowing acces from 1 side. Better use could have been made of available wall space for extra storage/shelving.

vincent from swaffham, United Kingdom;GB (Solo leisure traveller) 07 March 2006

I found the hotel far too modern for my tastes with a vast cold reception area. Upon check out there were long queues so much so that I went for a walk to allow them to disperse. The hotel was clean and tidy but I wouldn't hurry back. (3304285906)

Philip from Barnsley, United Kingdom;GB (Solo leisure traveller) 01 February 2006

I would have preferred an accurate post code which located the hotel. W1A 4RF places the hotel near to Rathbone Place which is actually a GPO building. There is no indication of its true location using the online maps. This information was critical as I wanted a hotel close to the venue, to check in , get changed etc., but instead I had to pay a £8.20 taxi ride to Marble Arch as well as having carry my bag to the event. I suggest you check and alter the postcode information. (3304131476)

positive comments The splendid ambience of the atrium space. Peaceful, calmimg, spaciousness.

Mutaz from Dubai, United Arab Emirates;AE (Solo leisure traveller) 15 January 2006

The twin room size was good but the double room was very small. Also the cobpoard space is small. The breakfast could do with an additional arabic dish i.e hummus and foul with olive oile.But in general I would rate it as good. (3304069260)

positive comments The staff atitude in general was good and the cleaneness of the hotel also was good. I would like to thank them all.
negative comments Being from the ME and as a muslim the one improvement I would suggest is to provide a higene hose in the bathrooms so we can wash after the use of the WC.

negative comments check in was the worst I have ever encountered. It took me 20 mins to get to the front of the queue. Upon arrival at my room i discovered it was the wrong type of room, which could not be dealt with by telephone with reception, so I had to queue again for another 15 mins. Total time to get to my room 35 mins.
