    Great location, walking distance to many areas of interest. Exceptional Staff. The room was large, very clean, with a very comfortable bed. There are two restaurants on the property, one is a pizzeria with excellent food.

    Covers on the silver service used during breakfast were prone to slamming. In my review directly to the Grand they appreciated this observation and that they intend to address it. Much appreciated.

    The front desk staff was very helpful and took care of us very well. Extremely comfortable king size bed that we always looked forward to after a long day.

    The hotel is lovely but the staff is even more lovely..down to every single person I encountered! The bedroom itself is a little bland , but beds are comfortable, linens are nice quality and the room was very quiet...which we love. The Lobby, breakfast room and exterior are beautiful and the breakfast is excellent. Thank you evevyone, we enjoyed our stay very much.

    Excellent location for comfortable stay in London
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The bed was too soft (perhaps too old/too used), the room was not serviced daily, but the most unpleasant experience was communication (or rather lack thereof) with the staff at the front desk. They didn't want to be bothered with doing what I assumed was their job: I was told to do check in on a hotel tablet myself (as well as check out), although there weren't any other guests beside my friend and me at that times, so I guess the busyness couldn't be the reason. The conversation was terse and my questions were answered with a bare minimum. I was rather disappointed, as I'd expect cordial and polite customer service in a 4 star hotel.

    Excellent location, quiet and comfortable room, ironing table and a good hair-dryer were provided, as well as Nescafe and tea bags, wifi was fast and reliable.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Absence of an adapter in room directly in room; I sent an email before the stay to ask for the best addresses to visit with our dog, I did not receive an answer, and I had to ask again on arrival. ; on arrival, the team did not ask us if we made a good trip; when booking booking I specified that this trip was to celebrate the seven years of couple with my spouse, no verbal intent or in-room...a great disappointment knowing I know the possibilities in a four-star hotel. ; the basket and the bowl for the dog were put in the room after our arrival. Request my reservation not respected: a nice view (not the case) and little space to walk around the bed side window. The hotel accepts pets and we are told that he cannot be with us to go to the bar or restaurant, which complicates the stay. I had to insist twice so that we can consume on site, I did not expect this difficulty while the hotel is upscale. I am a service manager in a five-star hotel in Paris centre, and I have been working in this sector for ten years, I was disappointed to make this comparison, I know the possibilities of a luxury hotel and we did not have this chance.

    the location ; a peace place ; available team. The location allowed us easily to visit London, without any problems. It was easy and pleasant. Our dog and we had a good weekend for a first in London! We also liked the workspace and sports. As we have a dog, it is difficult to go to the restaurant (unlike the pubs) we would have liked to receive a list of restaurants that accept the dog to help us. We also liked the quality of the bar and restaurant. The teams are smiling, the corridors are quiet.

    There was no fridge in the rooms which is a bit strange for 4*. To provide slippers would a nice touch. The rooms were smaller from what appeared on the photos but it didn't ruin our stay at all as we were out all the time during the day.

    Beautiful old building nicely renovated. Location is fantastic. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Beds are very comfortable. Our rooms windows were looking at the back yard so it was very quiet at night.
