Enchanting Stay Near the Park
helpful teamhygiene standarddelicious foodbroken stopper
The team demonstrated helpfulness . The food tasted delicious. Its freshness was apparent. I felt safe and cared for. It was a lovely experience.
I experienced a non-functional bath . The stopper was broken. The water continuously drained. Although I mentioned my mobility issues beforehand, the team did not address the bath issue. This was disappointing considering the price point.

The hotel is wonderfully situated! It's just within the congestion zone. This results in an extra daily charge of £25. The hotel's position allows easy access to numerous local attractions and amenities.

The bar provided a great atmosphere and service, staying open until late hours. the spa lacks a swimming pool, a notable absence. A nearby car park offers alternatives, though it can be expensive, costing £55 per day.

I stayed in a lovely room park view. The location is great and within walking distance to almost everything you might want to see. It was very easy to get to from the airport (I took the tube).
I have a disability, and I mentioned this before my stay, so I could get a room with a bath to ease my mobility issues. The sink was dripping underneath (a minor inconvenience). The bath did not work. The stopper was broken, and water kept draining out.

I found the staff quite knowledgeable. the townhouse bedrooms were very spacious. the location is really magnificent. It's within walking distance to many attractions! it was easy to get here from heathrow airport with a direct tube line to green park.
the rooms, though nicely decorated, felt a bit small for the price. the room was also quite hot. opening the window introduced too much noise from outside.
