Amazing hotel!
From the moment you enter, the property has a luxurious smell. A warm welcome from reception staff and clear instructions to the room.
The room was well stocked, bath salts at the ready & all you need from a room.

Post Christmas Break
Great hotel. Not quite 5 star service but still enjoyable.
Our room was cold and we needed an extra heating source to make it just that bit more bearable. The bathroom did not have any heating and was very cold.

Perfect stay
Absolutely stunning hotel. The rooms are unreal, very comfortable bed. Bathroom was amazing and very clean and spacious. Wonderful staff. I can’t wait to return soon hopefully. Would highly recommend.
Perfect location, especially if going to see a show. Just a walk across the road from the Theatre as well as Oxford Road station.

Good but not 5*
Very nice hotel, however some of the communal areas were a little shabby. As a result this should not be classed as a 5* hotel
Hotel lovely overall.
Paid for two king size bed suite and got a double and a king. When questioned they argued it was two kings but you could clearly see they were different sizes.
