Nice building but for 5 star expected more
Our stay was ok. We booked the premier king room and bed was Superking which was great but everything else felt a little tired including the carpet. For a 5 star hotel I expected a lot more from the room, amenities.
The bar was lovely for drinks, but at 1pm in the afternoon the chilled music dj was very loud, couldn’t talk at normal level, had to really speak loud…

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
