Chaotic arrival experience
I booked this stay expecting a polished luxury experience, but it turned into a frustrating disappointment. From the first evening, there was confusion about the booking, and by the next day the room was not ready when promised. Several interactions felt mechanical rather than genuinely helpful, and simple requests turned into repeated chases. The hotel markets itself as refined and effortless, yet the actual experience felt disorganized and reactive. We were left waiting longer than expected for updates, and no one seemed empowered to solve the problem decisively. The room itself also felt tired and not especially well maintained for a luxury property. By the end of the stay, the combination of small failures had become more memorable than anything positive about the property. There are far better options in London for the same budget.
