I couldn't have asked for a better location than this hotel, right next to Harrods in the heart of Knightsbridge. The rooms had a bit too much stuff around, feeling cluttered, but they were well-sized and had a cozy British feel. The service, coming from friendly staff, was exceptional, even reducing my bill when the A/C broke down. Although dining was available at the neighboring hotel in a British setting, the hotel itself had limited options. The overall experience was fantastic, and the facilities were good value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean, but the ongoing construction work and noisy neighbors made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The service, especially the friendly staff, was a standout, but the very small rooms and bathrooms were a downside. The location was ideal for sightseeing, but it might not be the best choice for guests with mobility issues. The dining experience offered a variety of options, but some found it a bit bland. Overall, a decent value for money considering the amenities provided.
