Bottom
line:
you’re
paying
for
a
mostly
clean
hotel
room
in
one
of
the
best
locations
in
London.
We
booked
2
nights
through
Chase
Card’s
system,
which
offers
an
upgrade
and
breakfast
for
free
(worth
it
if
you
have
Chase).
They
upgraded
us
to
a
“superior
room”,
which
appears
to
be
just
a
larger
room
of
about
30
square
meters
(or
320
square
feet
for
you
Americans).
The
bathroom
was
quite
large
for
London
(two
sinks!)
with
a
separate
shower
and
tub.
If
you
had
kids
and
could
get
a
roll
away
bed,
this
is
plenty
of
space
for
3
or
maybe
4.
The
room
is
sparsely
decorated,
but
it
looks
good.
We
requested
a
quiet
room,
so
they
put
us
at
the
back
of
the
hotel,
which
looks
out
to
a
brick
wall
and
has
little
light
during
the
day.
There’s
a
bar
in
the
alley
at
the
back
of
the
hotel,
so
it’s
quieter,
but
not
zero
noise.
The
shower
is
good.
Not
good
by
London
standards
where
water
pressure
is
awful…
good
by
Chicago
standards
where
there
is
unlimited
water
and
water
pressure.
Plan
an
extra
15
minutes
of
your
day
there.
The
restaurant
for
breakfast
is
cute,
and
the
full
English
is
delicious.
Props
to
them
for
a
great
hash
brown.
But
really,
it’s
all
the
location.
Berkeley
Square
is
still
one
of
the
most
sought
after
locations
in
London,
and
the
Mayfair
Hotel
is
still
one
of
the
best
located
hotels
in
or
around
Berkeley
Square.
You’re
a
5
minute
walk
from
Oxford
Street
and
a
10
minute
walk
to
SOHO.
The
nits:
-
We
checked
in
and
the
woman
at
the
front
desk
was
hardly
friendly.
She
started
off
by
saying
“we
are
fully
booked
so
can’t
give
you
an
upgrade,
but
we
will
honor
the
room
you
paid
for.”
Ummm…
okay?
They
ended
up
upgrading
us,
but
we
thought
this
might
not
bode
well
for
the
service,
but
everyone
else
was
very
nice
and
helpful.
-
Our
bed
smelled
a
little
bit
of
body
odor.
We
could
never
quite
track
down
exactly
where
it
was
coming
from.
-
The
noise
from
the
hallway
is
hard
to
drown
out.
The
room
doors
are
heavy
and
it
appears
impossible
to
close
them
without
slamming,
which
will
wake
you
through
the
night.
-
We
had
a
late
check
out
approved
until
1pm,
but
housekeeping
and
the
front
desk
began
calling
and
knocking
over
and
over
at
12pm.
Overall
it’s
not
perfect
and
not
5
star
service,
but
the
value
proposition
is
there.
Recommended.
