Stayed in March of 2005. We picked this hotel because it was the cheapest out of the nice hotels and every review was favorable---that was unusual! We found it to be very good. The staff was all very professional but didn't bug us everytime we walked past...they brought things to our room in a timely manner. The room was rather large by European standards. We had a junior suite with a sitting area and a foldout couch, a love seat and a chair. We had one and a half bath and it was clean and comfortable. The hallway was old but who stays in the hallway?? We even had a balcony - (had a view of the back of the hotel but - it was still pleasent to go out there) The breakfast was continental with the room - and offered cereals, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juices, ham, bread and pasteries - very filling. Beautiful dining room -- overall a great value in my book! It was also very convienent to the Knightbridge tube station and Harrods!
Stayed here January 2002. It was, all things considered, very uninspiring. Staff was a bit uppity for us - I walked through the lobby and past the front desk several times a day, and no one ever made eye contact or said anything. Location was ok, but not a lot of dining options in immediate area - had to go maybe 3 blocks to find something, more like 5-6 blocks to have real options. Great room - very small (which I don't mind) but very well appointed. Smallest bathroom in the history of the world.
I can't really recommend this hotel. All I ask of hotel staff is that they not be rude, and these folks were. Worse, they were indifferent. The location looks good on the map and sounds good (Knightsbridge!), but in reality everything you need is really several blocks away.
