We stayed in a studio suite on 2nd floor. View of the office block opposite is pretty awful, but the room has plenty of room - almost too much really as it felt a bit empty! And too much bare wall space for my liking. However everything else is great - 2 big TV's, desk, huge and comfy bed, tiny safe, drinks fridge - bring your own, Coke is a daft £3.50. Hanging wardrobe is ok for a few nights but not big enough for longer stays. Bathroom is excellent with twin basins,tub, good sized separate shower and a loo off the bathroom. Nice smellies. Room service has a very extensive menu at an ok price. A/C worked well. The main lobby is a masterpiece of architecture - it is worth staying here for this alone. I wish they'd replace the plastic palm trees though - they look slightly daft. The spa is super - a had a relaxing swim after using the gym which has a good number of machines with individual tv's - and really excellent staff. The adjoining Marylebone station is a lovely station and also has a tube station (Bakerloo line, so handy for Oxford St, Piccadilly). However the surrounding area is a bit rubbishy with the dreadful tourist area of Baker Street (Sherlock Holmes house, Madame Tussauds) just a few minutes walk away. The hotel has a small car park but this was full so we used the NCP 2 minutes walk down the road. It was an astonishing £48 for the night and we realised too late that on street weekend parking in this area is free.... Overall a very good hotel although not in a prime spot, but with prime London areas very close at hand. Would use again.

We were very happy to read you enjoyed the large space of our studio suites , together with the facilities provided.
