a perfect anniversary!

gorgeous roomsuper clean roombottle of winesingle bed
the room felt so super clean. it really reminded me of a wonderful hotel rather than just some hotel. we was very kindly given treats and a bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary, , made me blush. little things down to having makeup wipes and toothbrush in the bedroom felt tender.
i paid for a room, that stated 'king bed' however it was only a single. i was so sad about this. i wanted to sleep with my head on his shoulder.

a romantic city escape

I adored the location next to the tube station. It made exploring effortless. the staff were consistently friendly. i particularly loved the amazing view we got once upgraded. i must also add that all staff were very attentive to our needs.
The hotel bar needed more higher seats outside. This would greatly enhance the experience, and a gluten free ale on the drinks menu would have been a plus.
