Had a lovely Sunday morning here enjoying the Champagne Breakfast. At first there was no atmosphere and it felt very formal and slightly strained, with only the sounds of low conversation and cutlery when we arrivedand i regretted booking. It was making me feel slightly uncomfortable even though staff were supper friendly, especially Quinten. I asked if the extremely low background music I heard up at the bar area could be turned up to create a more comfortable, relaxed vibe. Thankfully this was done and the whole atmosphere instantly changed for the better. Sunday breakfast should be fun and not feel like sitting in the board room. The food at the buffet was plentiful for the amount of guest, very fresh with a really good variety so we didn't find it necessary to order from the menu. I enjoyed the Greek yogurt aling with the vast selection of nuts and seeds, fresh fruit and honey from the honeycomb. The scrabled eggs were very light, infact the best I've had in ages. The sourdough was perfect and i was able to toast it. Finally i had a few cut of cheese and fruits to finish off my champagne, then sat until early midday with a pot of tea people watching which is great in this hotel. We agreed the champagne breakfast offer was very good value and we'd probably book this again when we are next in London.

Incredible! The service, the food, the music, everything! Probably best tacos I’ve had and genuinely enjoyed my night! Tables are a little low making it a bit awkward to eat but otherwise had a blast. Highly recommend
