    Excessive prices and unfriendly bar staff

    Great location

    £18 for a vodka and coke and £9 per pint. What’s more all bills have a 12.5% discretionary service charge which isn’t brought to your attention. Bar staff also have poor English and are unhelpful and rude.

    The bed was very comfortable and the reception staff were very nice. The location is excellent, only 5 minute walk from Buckingham Palace and Victoria tube station. Coffee in the lobby in the morning was a nice touch and management checked on us a number of times after we checked in.

    Some of the staff weren't overly friendly. No specific issues but certainly not as friendly as I would expect in a 5 star. Arrived early and was told we could check in to an upgraded room for an extra cost; it would have been a very nice touch to offer a complimentary upgrade as the room clearly wasn't booked.
