Family group of 5 for an overnight stay in London as a birthday weekend. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which had lounge, small kitchen, and two large bedrooms with a large sofa bed in the lounge (so sleeps 6).
The lounge was quite small, but the bedrooms, hall and bathrooms were large. One bedroom was ensuite.
The outside of the building is unimpressive and showing its age a little, inside is better. Optional continental breakfast is expensive at £15... But why eat in?
Wifi is free for 4 devices. The staff are pleasant.The rooms have tea/coffee making which they will restock for you, and the kitchen had a washer dryer too for longer stays, a microwave and hobs (no oven).
The rooms are traditional/contemporary (not modern not old), clean and cozy but are showing wear and tear, mainly on floors and wooden surfaces in bathrooms etc... Varnish peeling. It didn't put us off much. There are better for more, but not many sleep 6.
Parking:
The apartment block is inside the congestion zone!.. Park at Qparks parking in Park Lane this is outside the congestion zone and about £32 for 24 hours from time of entry.
Tip:
For a breakfast treat Goto the Wolsley restaurant on Piccadily 2 doors up from the Ritz... It is like going back in time and is impressive. Many stars eat at Wolsleys because not many tourists know about it. Prices are from about £14
Overall for short stays this apartment is good, but if you want to impress someone then there are better for more money.
