Wonderful Experience!

excellent servicecute staffclean roomfabulous location
I found the service to be excellent. The staff was cute and helpful. The room was particularly cosy, clean, and beautiful. I certainly appreciated the location, so quiet and fabulous. I will definitely be coming back.
I noticed a slight delay in the room service. A tray with tea remained for an extended period.

The doormen, Andrew and Brett, gave us a nice welcome! The Mews suite offered beautiful views of the courtyard. I sampled meals from the room service menu. The cauliflower steak was a stand-out dish. The American bar's cocktails provided a superb experience. I suggest taking it easy on the 'One Fall All'.
The bar got quite packed around 5 p.m., even for residents. Securing a table proved difficult despite my being a hotel guest.
