Phenomenal service that catered to our every need. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well appointed with all of the amenities that made our stay feel like home away from home. Breakfast in the morning is scrumptious and not to be missed. We’ll be back!
Our stay was perfect!
The hotel and room were beautiful and clean,
But it was the staff that really made it special. The front desk and the concierge were top-notch and so friendly and helpful especially since it was our first time in UK visiting from USA. Highly highly recommended!!
This hotel has made me a Sofitel fan, will be looking for sofitel options for future travel. Will also be back here whenever in London from now on. Honestly cannot fault this hotel or its staff in anyway. Thanks for the great 7 days
Everything was great. We were a bit concerned about safety in the bathroom because of high edge of tub to navigate and lack of grab bars with slippery tub surface. My wife and I are in our 70s.
