 I ve stayed at a great many hotels in London this was the only one that didn t allow early check in seemingly a policy and not simply because the room wasn t ready They did invite us to shower and change in the spa which was lovely but it was rough not being able to nap a bit after a long overnight flight 
 The location was amazing We loved being so near St Paul s cathedral it s kind of magical Lots of great dining near the hotel And the hotel was very nice It didn t have the charm of some of the hotels we ve visited in London but had some great amenities
