Quite expensive for what you get, although I understand the area is amazing. We didn’t have a working phone our whole stay, and despite my husband requesting a fix they basically told him to use his cell instead and come down in person. Given that I am pregnant and sick most days this was super unfortunate as I was really hoping to utilize room service etc. And the no phone situation made it impossible. They gave us two drink tickets in exchange which didn’t seem fair at 500 pounds a night you’d expect a working phone!

The location was convenient, but we had a bad experience with the staff. We did valet parking, but forgot something in the car that we absolutely needed. They didn’t have a valet person at the time so the front desk employee, Beata, gave us the car key, but did not give us good directions to find the car nor did she provide a map. Another employee tried to give us a map, but she waived him off. It seemed that we were bothering her and wasting her time. So we were searching for their car garage at 12 midnight for an hour without success. We came back to the hotel quite angry. THEN she provided a map with directions! Why didn’t she do that in the first place! She denied not offering us a map to begin with. Another employee, Harris, was so kind to walk us to the car garage which was 10 min away. He made sure we got what we needed and walked us back to the hotel. Beata was very unprofessional with us. Even when we asked her for more tissue in the room earlier that day, she did not help us. Harris was the one who helped us with that. We asked to speak to the manager Mafalda, but she never contacted us.

Very Virgin and Very Good
Spotlessly clean and quirkily designed hotel in a fairly central location. The service in Eve at breakfast was super friendly and relaxed and the food in the Common Club was great and the service equally good. Despite being one of the bigger rooms, the room wasn’t huge but it was well-quipped and comfortable. The housekeeping was impeccable. The room looked exceptionally clean. Cathryn who checked us in gave such a warm welcome, but the person checking us out didn’t even say thank you for the stay or goodbye which was the only sour note of the stay. I didn’t see the point of the doormen. Unlike the concierge, who went out of their way to be helpful, the doorman just stood there and don’t speak unless spoken too.
