Provider-sourced guest reviews.
This little hotel is completely my taste and easily my number one spot in London. The staff are very friendly, and genuinely helpful from the moment you step inside. The Grand Suite is incredible—the bed is super comfortable, the shower is great, and that bathtub is just glorious. Downstairs is a total win too, with a proper good burger, a nice glass of Malbec, and an amazing Basque cheesecake. Add in quick, painless check-in and brilliant artwork on the walls, and I was sold from start to finish.
Our third or fourth stay over a 4 year period. We still really like the vibe and feel of the hotel. But some of the service was not so great. I felt like a second class citizen at breakfast times. We booked our time and yet were dismissively told where to sit (a table behind check-in/ near the coffee machine/ kitchen door). When I asked if we could sit in a specific area for our next two breakfasts I was told that tables in that area were not able to be reserved. I got the feeling that local people got preferential access to those tables - Despite paying £450/night for our room. However, on our last morning we got a table in the area requested and tables did have reservation signs in them. Not impressed. Water pressure in our top floor room wasn’t great at times.
The place, location, decoration and family spirit are great. However, the staff was not matching this atmosphere, they really behave like they do not care much, service at dinner was totally impersonal, it felt like staying in an average motel (but you still pay £500 a night). This is too bad because all the rest is well done.
The hotel and location were great, the staff that met us and served us on the day of check in were lovely. We had issues with the staff on Sunday morning when checking out and wanting to order breakfast.
On Sunday morning, a little conscious of time because we had a train to catch, we sat at a table outside of the hotel to order breakfast. We were brought no menus or water (it was v warm) and so I nipped inside to ask for menus, the girl working was very curt when giving them to me. We went outside where the male server who was a little lacklustre was serving the table next to us. No one came to take our order so again I went inside to see if we could order (we were both getting the same so not particularly complex!) The waiter was inputting the previous order onto the till so I decided not to disturb him and went instead to the female server who was finishing emptying coffee beans into the coffee machine, I asked to order and again she was very curt and said we will come out to you, I replied that it was OK, I could just tell her the order (seeing as I had got up and come back inside, what's the point in going back out and waiting) she said in a very passive aggressive, abrasive tone 'I am in the middle of something', which to be honest was ridiculous, she was emptying coffee beans into the grinder.... To add insult, the bag was empty, she'd finished emptying them as I started speaking and surely taking an order would be a priority. At this point we collected our suitcases from outside and left, we didnt want to spend a single extra penny where the staff were downright rude.
I loved the coziness and comprehensiveness of services and amenities, never mind the central location. The morning staff who did breakfast service were especially delightful, and the bed, bathroom toiletries, and shower were up to my high standards. Unlike most hotels in London, it was also really, truly quiet at night. And the cocktail bar in the basement is such a lovely haven. Have the bar manager make you his favorite drink!
We had a wonderful experience. The room was lovely, clean, well appointed and air conditioned (a big plus as we arrived during a heat wave). The staff was great! We can’t say enough good things about it! Stay here!!!
We did have a lovely stay whilst we were in London to visit the Chelsea Flower Show. Our room was a good size & the beds were so very comfy. The fridge wasn’t working sadly - We did report it on the 2nd day & were advised that the managers would be told. It did mean our (bought elsewhere) picnic items didnt stay cold nor the milk in our fridge. We were also surprised that the small bottle of milk wasn’t replenished daily. Breakfast was good - although my husband’s eggs were cold (as if they’d come out of the fridge?). These issues aside it was a lovely stay.
We loved everything about this lovely little place. The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated (as was the whole hotel), and the food and drinks in the restaurant were delicious and served by gracious and welcoming staff. It is well-located in a quiet neighborhood, but close to public transportation and most tourist sights in London. Cannot recommend more highly!!!
I love the interior design first and I want to stay in a different room every time I visit. The staff were amazing and very welcoming. We had a breakfast and it was delicious and exceptional quality. The healthy juices were great too. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone visiting London.
Superb hotel, we will definitely be back! All staff were lovely and Leanne at reception was above and beyond, super friendly and helpful. Room was great, comfy bed, cool furnishings and bathroom. Great location close to Kings Road for shopping and restaurants.
What a lovely quiet place to stay. Very well located to public transit and walking to explore the city. Nearby to fabulous restaurants, including the onsite restaurant (delicious) and Qavra (georgian food). The hotel is cozy and comfortable while luxurious at the same time. Staff is wonderful. Would definitely stay here again
The property felt more like a restaurant with rooms than a full-service hotel, as there was very little in terms of hotel service. The staff were aware that it was my husband’s 60th birthday, but unfortunately there was no acknowledgment of the occasion. We paid a premium price for a suite and had hoped for a more personal boutique hotel experience, which sadly wasn’t the case. While the suite itself was nice (if not a little tired - no need for the dusty faux flower bouquet) , I think we would have been disappointed had we booked a standard room. We chose the hotel mainly for its proximity to Victoria Station, but it’s not somewhere we would return to.
Nous n'avons pas pu dormir. Le quartier est survolé par des hélicoptères toute la nuit, c'est atroce
Beautiful, considered design with attention to detail & comfort. The staff were very friendly and although there were some technical issues, I'd definitely recommend the place.
A lovely hotel, interesting and quirky interiors. Very nice staff, good cafe/bar/restaurant. Clean and convenient. We will definitely be back.
Welcoming, attentive, kind, comfortable
The Artist Residence London is CHARMING, PERSONALIZED, BOHO, CHIC and overall just LOVELY boutique hotel. This is due to the amazing people who work there. They held my bags the day I arrived while I explored London (I got in early), one night when my day schedule went long... they ordered me dinner while I was out at a play so it would be ready upon my return (as local restaurants would have been closed), they arranged taxis and gave travel advice (where to shop etc) whenever I needed. This was a big personal trip for me (and I was traveling solo) and felt really safe & taken care of here at the Artist Residence London. Shout out to the little details: daily delivery of milk for coffee, cute bags for hairdryer, and room details go a long way to create the chill vibe -- much appreciated for this visiting Californian. Also, you are surrounded by friendly people, cool unique art and an awesome easy going vibe while staying there. Highly recommend.
Such a lovely hotel, well designed and very cute room with everything you need and more, friendly personable staff and a fantastic restaurant. We only stayed one night but would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
Let me say, first of all, the food was very good as were the pre dinner cocktails downstairs. All 4 of us had different main courses and all were very tasty and well cooked. Service however was erratic and slightly bizarre almost to the extent that it was comical! The waitresses didn't seem too bothered about providing a professional or even acceptable service - things ordered but not delivered - having to ask 3 times for a replacement bottle of wine - lots of chatter amongst themselves... just a rather careless and slovenly manner. I left a £25 tip at the end - I only hope most goes to the kitchen staff and not front of house. I like the Artist Residence brand and frequent the Penzance one. I just hope this establishment does not bring the overall reputation down.
Lovely spot! Clean, well designed, cosy, cute restaurant. Good size room, good value for money. Will be returning. Thank you!
Fantastic, unique, boutique hotel with super friendly staff. Lovely decor and a fantastic restaurant onsite which is amazing for breakfast. Close to Victoria Station and Pimlico. An absolute find.
We absolutely loved staying at the Artist Residence! We weren’t sure what to expect but as soon as we got into our room, we fell in love with it and didn’t want to leave! The mix of antiques and pop art throughout was fab and the room was really spacious with comfortable furniture and plush bedding and towels. The neighborhood was quiet and elegant but just a short walk, under 30 minutes, to all the touristy sites and only 10 minute walk to Victoria Station where you can get just about anywhere. And, then there’s the restaurant - the food was fabulous for both dinner and breakfast. We recommend eating there as much as you can.
Great place location helpful staff
Elevator
A really relaxing, good quality hotel. Add to that the delicious food and great personal service and this is definitely somewhere we will be coming back to.
We revisited The Artist Residence last Saturday (20th September 2025) for our reservation at 12.15. On arrival, we asked about the brunch menu - as this is what we had last time and was delicious - to be told that they weren't serving it. Despite the website saying that it was served until 3pm (we showed them the website), our server told us that the website was wrong and that "they had stopped that since yesterday". We asked to speak with the manager (Paul) and was quite rudely and abruptly told that no, we couldn't order from that menu. We ordered cocktails - which took over 20 minutes to be made (the server admitted he'd never made them before!) and when our food did eventually arrive, they brought out the wrong item. My friend then had to wait another 15 minutes whilst it was cooked. There was no apology or offer to remove it from the bill. Our plates weren't cleared away before her dessert was delivered and we felt as though we had to constantly try and get the attention of the staff. After we had paid our bill we were asked how our experience was, and when we explained all of the above, were offered a "free coffee" - which neither of us drink so declined. Very disappointed and wouldn't return again soon. Please update your website as we would not have visited at that time and don't want others to find the same. Please also think about your customer service and the manner in which front of house speak to customers!
Beautiful rooms in a beautiful location! Reception staff could be friendlier, but other than that, a fantastic mkt British hotel stay. Would return!
A really lovely hotel, on a very quiet street not too far away from Victoria Station. Clean, quiet, beautiful room, had everything I needed. Staff were super friendly, room service burger was delicious, hit the spot after a day walking the streets of London. My only slight criticism was the room felt a little cold, even with the thermostat turned up, and I would have loved a more generous quilt on the bed, but those are small quibbles by someone who feels the cold.
We like Artist Residence because whatever the day throws at you - you can rely on having a home from home good rest !…………….
Great
The staff and the apartments are so wonderful. We felt at home we were inspired by the creative design. We were so comfy and really nice beds with great linens and excellent snacks in our room. The location was beautiful and easy and the restaurant was super tasty.
We stayed in the Club Suite. It was spacious and comfortable, with lovely amenities. I loved that the shampoo/conditioner/body wash/body lotion/bath salts were all in full sizes so there was no running out during our week-long stay. Be prepared for a walk-up with no elevator, though we did check in early and they kept our luggage while we explored the city and they put our luggage in our room ready to go for check in, which was much appreciated. The one thing that was spotty during our stay was housekeeping - they came every day, though sometimes it was perfect and other times the bed wasn't fully made, towels weren't replenished and restacked properly, and one of our robes oddly went missing one day. However, anything we asked the front desk about, they cheerily addressed. There is also no working outlet in the bathroom, so had to use the hairdryer without a mirror in the living room. However the room itself was very comfortable, the bed was wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely (especially neighboring Belgravia) and we had a delicious brunch in the hotel restaurant as well as room in-room dining one night (which they don't advertise - I just asked for take out in the restaurant and when they heard I was a hotel guest, they said they'd bring it on a tray and it was nicely done.)
Lovely stay in the Loft suite. Spacious room with fabulous bathroom in central location. Staff helpful and friendly and breakfast in the restaurant was excellent.
Stayed for one night, had a lovely unique room, it was great!
Staff were nice - could have been slightly more welcoming upon arrival. Nevertheless a great stay and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay centrally in London.
Having had a reservation problem at another hotel I was literally wandering the streets looking for somewhere to stay the night and stumbled across this beautiful little place hiding between Victoria Station and Pimlico. I enjoyed a drink in the superb basement bar and my small room was certainly big enough.
I stayed at The Artist Residence in July 2025. We enjoyed the stay. Overall, the hotel is clean with a comfortable bed, and a nice shower. Additionally, the breakfast at the restaurant downstairs was solid. Note that I did find our room very small, and maybe not perfect for 2 people, and better for 1 person as you can hear the other person in the bathroom. We stayed in a Small Plus Room. I'd say that the hotel is expensive for what you get, but London is expensive. Next time, I'd seek out a larger room. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood in Pimlico, and is roughly about a 10 minute walk to the nearest underground, so it may not be convenient for all. It is about a 25-30 minute walk to Soho. Overall, I liked the hotel, but didn't think it was exceptional.
I visited to Artist Residence in London twice this week. Once, with my dog, who was cared for beautifully, with free treats and a dog bed in the room. The second time I had my book launch in the function rooms and stayed over with friends. Leanne and the team cared for us all beautifully. The beds were so comfortable, the rooms decorated beautifully, the showers were easy to work out and had great water pressure, the shower gel etc was of great quality. All the staff was exceptionally helpful and polite, particularly Briony and her colleague at breakfast, whose name I have forgotten but who was noticeably quietly efficient and unflappable. We had a great party with excellent bar service and fantastic canapés. I think we must have tested out nearly every side of the business, just by chance, and found it exceptional at every turn. The owners can be very proud of this team and everyone who can to my launch said they would definitely be back. I certainly will.
A very nice and confortable hotel that makes you feel at home, supported by a team that pays attention to your requests. It is located in a quiet street but walking distance to Sloane square, should you wish to enjoy the city buzz and enjpy a bit of shopping. Last but not least, the inhouse restaurant and the bar provides great food should you decided to stay put and chill out.
Quiet and nice place to stay in London
Good
Staff were great and attentive. Room had everything we need. I don’t see this in all hotels, but they had a charger bag next to the Hairdryer. Super handy.
The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They even noted I’m dairy free and put oat milk in the room for morning coffee!
My wife and I stayed at the Artist Residence London on our last night in town and our only regret was not being able to spend more time there. Our room managed to be both stylish as well as comfortable and the staff, Lianne in particular, were fantastic. We can't wait to go back.
Clean, funky decor, perfect facilities and a great breakfast to finish it off. So close to victoria station too which was a bonus.
The whole experience was ten out of ten, from the staff being excellent, the service, food and accommodation. We stayed in the loft suite which was beautiful, the location was brilliant for getting around, and the hotel was just what we could have wished for my wife's Birthday celebration.
I absolutely loved staying at the Artist Residence. I booked a medium room (#6) and it was perfect for my nearly week long stay. The room was super clean and wonderfully appointed. The location is perfect and very safe for a solo woman traveler. The restaurant was fantastic too - I ate breakfast there most mornings. Leanne and her team are simply amazing - I highly recommend!
My husband and I had one of the most delicious meals of our trip at the Artist Residence restaurant. We both ordered the Sunday set menu with three items; an appetizer, entree, and the most divine cheesecake for desert. The waitstaff were super friendly and accommodating too. We would definitely return if we have the opportunity and highly recommend this restaurant.
Another lovely stay at the Artists residence! I stayed in the small room (room 3) which didn’t feel cramped and was lovely. Bed and pillows were super comfy. Love all the Bramley products available, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel, which were both utterly delicious. Great location to explore London too. I recommend this lovely hotel!
Staff very friendly not sure if it was a coincidence staff left Tunnocks biscuits for me in the room on arrival being Scottish nice touch
A beautiful hotel for a trip to London. In a really quiet area but walkable to Victoria and easy access to anywhere in London. The staff have been fantastic too. Also the breakfast is amazing.
We booked the hotel very last minute when our plans changed and i'm so glad we did! It's absolutey fabulous. It doesn't feel like a hotel, more like staying at a friends incredibly well equipped and beautifully decorated house. The staff are super friendly, decor gorgeous, everything has been considered. It also has the best range of snacks in the room and they even left us a little easter gift and card. It's easily walkable from Victoria station (convenient for trains to Gatwick) and there are plenty of food options nearby if you don't want to stray too far. Its definitely our new favourite and we will absolutely be coming back!
Adorable, clean and perfect location!!! Perfect boutique stay! Great service. Great neighborhood (and I’m super picky) Even assisted my boyfriend in the US have fresh flowers in the room upon my arrival 🩵 Thank you all at Artist Residence!!
Breakfast was lovely and real fresh ingredients. Location brilliant and close to what you need.
I can't think of anything.
Another great stay in Pimlico, which was further enhanced by the staff recognizing that this wasn't the first time I had stayed. The location is perfect for me and means I can almost always walk to everywhere I want to go. Very comfortable bed and super clean/fluffy towels. My daughter was most impressed with the range of snacks on offer in the room! Excellent breakfast and all the staff encountered were extremely pleasant, friendly and welcoming. One minor downer - the curtains in Room 3 are long overdue for renewal.
Great location and very friendly staff!
We've stayed here multiple times and will return again. The hotel is ideally situated, close to Pimlico, Victoria, Belgravia but in a quiet street. The rooms are light, comfortable and charming with individual touches and the three suites are outstanding. Beds, pillows, linen, bathrooms and products all high quality. Excellent breakfast (not included) in restaurant below and there's a bar on the lower ground floor. In the summer eating outside on the pavement terrace is a real treat. Staff generally very helpful and engaged.
Amazing food Great vibe
The Staff were lovely The food was DELICIOUS the welcoming vibe, the style, the location, small & intimate
Artist Residence was delightfully cozy and full of lovely art. The staff is universally professional and friendly, eager to be helpful. In addition to a smoothly running inn, the hotel restaurant was excellent. The food and staff are top-notch, and it is no surprise that many people from this charming neighborhood come in to enjoy it. The hotel is an easy ten minute walk to Victoria Station, where the major tube lines converge, so getting around is very easy. It is also an easy stroll to the Tate Modern. Altogether a delightful experience!
Hotel placed over £200 of charges onto the credit card left as a deposit. This was for a room that was full pre-paid. Beware as if I had checked my statement they would have got away with this.
From the welcome by the charming staff through a restful nights sleep in a super comfortable bed, room with quirky, chic decor, good food and excellent coffee, this Hotel is my favourite London place to stay by a long way! Adam, Nestia (hope I spelled that right!) and Jess are front of house and feel like good friends... the kind of friends that give you a warm welcome every time you see them. After a stressful day, room 8 (medium room) was a haven of peace, spotlessly clean and had THE most comfortable bed with high quality high thread count sheets and soft pillows. We've previously stayed in the Grand suite, Loft, Club Room and all are fantastic with great air con in the summer. An urgent trip to London this time didn't justify a big room although the medium room is spacious and definitely big enough for 2. Delicious breakfast porridge with almond butter and caramelised banana set me up for the day (note: traditional fry up and eggs benedict/florentine etc available) and the coffee is top notch. About 10 minutes walk from Victoria station (and Gatwick express) in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Returned to collect luggage at 4pm and was so hungry I sampled a burger from the snack menu... delicious. Can't fault AR London.
delightful room with views over london roof tops. everything considertion from fresh milk in the fridge, coffee, tea, body creams etc. so felt very well looked after. the downstairs dining area is popular with locals and has a delicious menu ... breakfast was a real treat. i recommend the french toast with berries and cream!
This is a wonderful little hotel - the rooms are gorgeous, the staff are super lovely and accommodating, it's on a quiet street but really close to Victoria, and the food is delicious. I particularly appreciated the bathtub and all the snacks. Not cheap, but well worth it for a special treat. Thank you for such a lovely stay!
A gem of a hotel. Super comfortable, great location, friendly staff. Had breakfast which was delicious and kept us going all day! Cstered for everybody. Felt more like staying at a friends stylish home than in a hotel. Will definitely return.
The quirky decor with great touches & fantastic selection of drinks & snacks. Also a very comfortable, cosy bathroom
Nothing
The rooms are very well decorated, reasonably spacious and have lovely amenities. The bathroom was very damp with mold all around the tiles. It was a mixed experience but likely wouldnt go back.
The coffee and the cocktails were great. The food was delicious but took 45mins to arrive only when prompted.
The attention to detail was missing. Ironing board cover took me 30mins to sort out. The curtain was missing a few hocks so I was awake with the light.
Room was lovely, the restaurant is designed lovely. Nice and warm, had shampoo, conditioner, body wash and moisturiser which is good to not bring it all with you. Had breakfast in the morning, felt it was quite expensive for what it was. I had eggs royal for £15 (it might be the going rate for the area) however it was freezing cold as if the sauce and eggs had just come out the fridge. They replaced it, but was still quite cold. I just ate it.
Lovely friendly boutique hotel with nice clean rooms, great service, very comfy beds and a lovely restaurant below. I book a standard double and it was perfect for me travelling solo. Each room is very different and all beautifully done. The staff were so helpful
Reception a little slow, always seemed to be in the restaurant area. Room was larger than average for central London which is a positive. As is the location, a few minutes walk from Victoria. Room temperature was an issue and adjusting thermostat didn’t seem to make a difference. As a regular traveller to London I probably wouldn’t stay here again, certainly better options available for the cost of the stay.
Amazing place, great service, and excellent food. Especially appreciated the duck and crispy aubergines. Went there with my daughter. We highly recommend this restaurant in the nice area of Pimlico. The restaurant is part of the boutique hotel, which is very cosy and well decorated.
We had breakfast at Artist residence. It was so delicious ! Tea, juices, shots and the English breakfast were perfect. The staff is very friendly. Definitely come back.

Very authentic and friendly. Great location
Shower could be warmer
Breakfast super
I rarely leave reviews but had to give a shout out to this fantastic boutique hotel! It was in a great, safe area- walk to Victoria Station, Buckingham Palace Etc, and the hotel itself had a very cool/Hip vibe. Rooms were cosy and well appointed and had everything you could think of needing and when you asked for something else it was there in 2 mins. Front desk staff was very friendly and happy to accommodate our early check in so we could shower after our red eye flight. Beds very comfortable, shower great, and last but not least the restaurant/cafe was fun and food outstanding! The downstairs pub also had a great vibe. All this and a great value. Will definitely be back!
We had a lovely stay. The room was very nice. It was very clean with beautiful individual touches that put it above other hotels.
Had a wonderful stay at the Artist Residence. Really funky, fantastic attention to detail - high quality toiletries, superb quality bedding, just loved everything about it. We stayed in the Club Suite which was spacious and quiet. Enjoyed the cafe too. Definitely will return.
Gorgeous small hotel with lovely staff.
I was recommended Artist Residence by a friend and was not disappointed. Lovely food, great service and a very nice vibe to the place. I’ll definitely be coming back again to try the rest of the menu and hopefully leave room for dessert. The pictures I’ve taken sadly don’t look as good as the food was because of lighting.
What a superb find. I don't want to give a excellent review as I want to keep this place a secret!!! Joking aside, this place is perfect. The staff are exceptional and really friendly. You are treated like a person and not a number. The accommodation is quirky but it just works, they have thought of everything from slippers and robes to phone chargers and adaptors. This is without doubt the best nights sleep I have had in a london hotel. It is a short walk from Victoria Station and has great connectivity to the West End and London. All in all, my new go to hotel for when I'm staying in London, but don't tell everyone.
Friendly, homely, clean and wonderful staff
Typical London Town house so be prepared to climb lots of stairs without a lift!
This is a boutique hotel with a cool sense of fun without distracting from beautifully clean and charming rooms. My room on the top floor was lovely, perfect for sleep yet still could see the rooftops of London. The restaurant does amazing food and is so comfortable for the solo diner.
Well I did have a crazy big suitcase, so no elevator is not a problem for the average guest, but I got a ton of help getting by bag up to my room. I only mention it for those who aren’t good at steps.
Arrived in London bleary eyed, too early for hotel check-in, and hopeful to find a pot of tea and some breakfast. How fortunate, then, that we stumbled upon this attractive neighborhood cafe, The Artist Residence. We were greeted by a hostess who asked if we had a reservation. We did NOT but were welcomed warmly by every member of the staff as we were led to our comfy, eclectic, table. (Travelers hint: if a restaurant accepts reservations for 8 am breakfast they MUST serve amazing food. Happily, this was the case!) The girls chose to sit on the banquette and I sat across on a chair. Silverware and serviettes (napkins to us Yanks) were in crockery centered on each table. Pots of tea, fresh orange juice, water and a cappuccino were brought while we studied the breakfast menu. French toast (two very thick slices with fruit and maple syrup) with Smokey streaky bacon 🥓 (crispy American bacon) was my choice. We also enjoyed golden yellow scrambled eggs served on large, thin slices of sourdough toast and a big bowl of yogurt with fruit and granola. (FYI yogurt connoisseurs, the yogurt and granola were separated by a fruit layer, preventing the grains from becoming soggy. consistent with the attention to detail each dish displayed.) We returned several times during the week for breakfast, dinner, and even enjoyed a pint 🍺 one night as we waited for take-away. (Take-out in the States.) Thank you Artist residence for your perfection in every dish we tried! We now have a Favorite Restaurant in London🤗 Cheers💕!!
I booked three rooms for the night before my wedding for myself and bridal party. The hotel is beautiful and feels very comforting and lots of light coming in. Upon arrival we were told there was 24/7 service however at 9pm when we needed help with the tv we went downstairs and no one was there. We rang the bell and called down however no answer. The next morning in the grand suite where the bridal party was getting ready there was a leak in the bathroom and then it extended across the room. This was very stressful for the morning of the wedding. The staff tried to deal with it promptly however we were told at one point that it wasn’t a leak and just the paintwork. At first we thought it was the air conditioning but it was from a room two floors above. There was no compensation on our stay for this stress after booking the grand suite for two nights plus two additional rooms.
The food place and everyone in here were great. We ordered some benedict eggs and drench toast, it was enough for both of us We had such an amazing time for breakfast!. We totally recommend it to stay. Thank you for everything. Cant wait to be back.
