As above. Very poor response in particular to a platinum member. Travel will be curtailed for the balance of this year and i've been offered a partial credit for potential future travel to only this hotel.

We very much appreciate your loyalty to Accor and rest assured that your full prepayment is waiting here for you to use, initially a deadline was given until the end of 2020 however this can certainly be extended until April 2021. We do hope you are staying safe and well in these difficult times and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact our reservations manager, Kasia, directly on h3… Take care and best wishes Sally-Ann Jenkinson Director of Guest Experience

It was okay, below my expectations, the Hotel was my favourite in London up till now and my go to Hotel over the past few years. 500 Euros was stolen from my locked suitcase, which was a added negative, but I will put that aside when answering the survey questions.

Our first stay was wonderful. We were suppose to stay for a second time from March 7-10 but returned to Canada due to the Virus. Still charged for the stay which we find appalling.
