 I usually stay at the May Fair Hotel whilst I am in London but decided to stay in a boutique hotel for a change Not a great idea I use booking com to book as you don t pay when you book I was surprised to be charged the full amount immediately upon booking 9 months in advance The room was nicely decorated but it smelt damp I found the source of the smell quickly as the grout in the shower area was mouldy it was disgusting The bathroom in general needed a complete update When checking in I was asked what newspaper I wanted and was amazed when I checked out to be charged for the paper The mini bar fridge wasn t cold 
 The decor was fantastic
