Northern Europe hotel rooms a the Independent

"In the historic district. Close by to lots of interesting stuff. "

"The hotel is situated in an ideal location for site seeing (Westminster, London Dungeon & Eye). Close to Westminster & Waterloo underground station. Plenty of restaurants in the area. "

"Clean and modern hotel. Newly built so everything seemed well maintained. You can get a drink voucher if you skip on room cleaning. Restaurant area felt under staffed but overall a good stay. "

"Friendly and helpful staff, great location only a 15 minute walk into the center or a 5 minute bike ride if renting bikes. Pool was a great facility with the sauna. Rooms were clean and comfortable."

"All the staff are amazing. They make you feel very welcome, are all so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I really can't praise them enough! The room was small but very clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a great stay. The air con was a massive bonus as it was very hot during our stay, but our room was lovely and cool so we got a great nights sleep each night. The only thing that I would say is to check which rooms have a better shower if you have mobility issues or if you are tall, as our shower had a big step in (it was 12 inches off the floor) which left very little room between the shower floor and the low ceiling. Im 5ft 8in and I struggled to wash my hair without banging my elbows on the ceiling! It was my daughters birthday while we were there and there was a card, balloon and chocolates in the room when we arrived, which was a lovely touch and really appreciated. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel but we did eat in the restaurant in the evening. The food is delicious, the staff are lovely and we were impressed how reasonably priced it was. They are very knowledgeable about allergies and have some great options if you do have a food allergy. It is an ideal location, easy to walk to a lot of attractions, perfect for theatre visits. Lots of shops and dining options nearby too. We will definitely be back and I doubt we would stay anywhere else in London now. The hotel is great, but it's the staff that absolutely make this hotel perfect."

"Excellent pristine hotel right next to Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. Room was immaculate and spacious. Everything was perfect"

"I continually saw the online check-in option, but for some reason, the site failed to save my details. Upon my arrival, there was a long line, and it took a while to check in, but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. She went over the amenities and the breakfast and parking procedures. The complimentary breakfast was part of the hotel rate, but the parking fee of over €40.00 seemed a bit pricey."

"One of my two favorite hotels in London. Fantastic location, great staff, modern facilities. The bar always features an amazing collection of signature cocktails. Highly recommended."

"Perfect location, unique experience, friendly staff, amazing view."
