Loved our stay here. Absolutely LOVED it. The welcome was second to none with a covid friendly 1 on 1 around the suite and a welcome pack that meant we could have a brew after our long journey.
That’s the boring stuff though.
This suite and the apartment clock is fabulous. The smell of wood and polish permeate every room and take you back to a time long gone but so desirable. The decor is spot on and the beds, living rooms, bathrooms and kitchens are all elegantly presented with one foot in...

Unexpectedly upgraded to a suite, which was lovely. Stayed at Baileys multiple times over the past few years, a lovely, comfy, traditional London hotel with out the ostentatious bling. Friendly and helpful staff, stones throw from good transportation for London exploration. The only slight negative, no bedside clock, so had to check my phone or Ipad for time in the wee small hours.

Our room was beautifully decorated, really clean and such a good size. It was checked every morning, beds made & clean towels provided.
The minibar was well stocked and included in the cost of our room. The bathroom is very modern with a huge shower & also well stocked with aveda toiletries.
