Room was lovely and clean. Check-in service was slow and initially couldn`t find our booking via Hotel Direct. Very slow service making two bloody mary`s at the bar and then they were virtually undrinkable - they then charged for three instead of two drinks. Upon leaving, my bar bill was £45 instead of £18 and they had added on room service by mistake - this took approximately 15 minutes for them to sort out

"Fantastic"

Other reviewers are moan bags. This hotel was superb. View was amazing from our room on floor 7. Beds very comfortable and housekeeping were just wonderful, they even came to check that we were happy with it. The guest supplied closet was a nice touch with irons, ironing boards, extra blankets and pillows along with extra drinks stuff. I can`t understand what other people were saying that they were unhappy, in all we were blown away with this. The location is just AMAZING! thank you for a lovely weekend.

"The room was excellent, as were the support services."

Our stay was as a base for celebrating my wife`s 75th Birthday, and was as special as the birthday itself. The only adverse comment is that the dinner menu was somewhat restricted.

This was a good, comfortable hotel in an excellent location. Staff were ok, not as friendly or welcoming as other hotels I have stayed in London but that is just a minor issue.

"Best shower ever !"

Read some very mixed reviews on this hotel prior to visit, but found it a gem. Friendly staff, quick check in, very central, ice and water on tap outside our room - slightly noisy outside, but what`s expected on a main road? Would definately stay again.

"A Shame"

We have stayed at this hotel on several occassions and thought we had found an "Ideal Hotel" Unfortunately,The Grand was a little poor this time. On arrival our room wasn`t ready until after 3pm. When we did manage to book in the studio ( Only available room ) that we had was disappointing. There is a small kitchenette area with a microwave,kettle and a fridge.The plates hadn`t been washed from the previous residents and still had food on them! The shower drain was blocked so we couldn`t shower.I always try and be positive about hotels and give the benefit of the doubt but, this has spoiled it for us. We will try a different hotel next time.

"clean, recently decorated but full of grand features."

this was our second stay at this hotel. my wife and i periodically drive into town and stay the night so we can shop and flop, then go out on the town. parking is a few minutes away of traffalga square. rooms are a good size and decorated well. bathrooms spotless and well maintained. bar a bit pricey but what a great position. breakfast was good to. overall good value for money.

"Central location"

This hotel is a great location for sight seeing it is in the hub of London and beside two underground stations which are a must for getting around London also hotel is ideal for going to Westend shows as we did.Downside to hotel is rooms were cold ! the heating did not work and i had read reviews about this before my visit. The bar is not operated by hotel so getting a late drink or a night cap is not possible and bars in london close up around 1130 and they are strict on this, there are late night bars but not loads and you need to pay cover charge. Overall great location i would rate room 6/10 service was good at front desk also but this hotel is aimed at visiting business people but its a hotel not to be overlooked...

"Basic services in an excellent location"

It is `you get what you pay for`, but even in central London $300 a night for seven nights should ensure good assistance with luggage, and daily room makeup.Hhandicapped access was out of order the entire stay. .The front desk was overworked. Boyd`s restaurant is very expensive with poor service and not quite making it food. Watasumt is excellent. I should hve known that this was a budget price club for young people but nowhere in the reservation process was Club Apartments mentioned

We had a room in the inner part of the hotel which had very little natural light, if we were to stay again we would insist on a outer room. No bath which was a bit dissapointing.
