The hotel offers fabulous views of the Palace but can be noisy due to traffic. The rooms are suitable for families with kids, although facing the main road brings in lots of traffic noise. The service can be professional but aloof, though some staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, near tube stations and the Royal Palace, yet could use some maintenance. The dining experience is generous and varied, with good options but could improve. Overall, a comfortable stay with some noise concerns.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I had was at a lower level with no view, and it was a bit smelly and dusty. However, it had a beautiful view and lots of natural light. The lack of a refrigerator was a downside, and not being able to open the window due to its proximity to a terrace was a bit inconvenient.
