Great stay
Our stay was exceptional, and the location was highly convenient. We opted to reside in a suite on the second floor, which was consistently satisfactory. Additionally, we dined at the Asian restaurant, which offered an exquisite dining experience. I highly recommend the set menu.

Everything you need, done really well
We were only here for a brief stay before an early flight, and almost didn't want to leave. Friendly professional staff, chic room which was immaculately clean. Only con is that the aircon somewhat noisy but were able to turn it off so not really an issue when we were there. Highly recommend 👍

So comfy
I booked a room with access to the milessimi club room before flying from Gatwick south the following day. The amenities were excellent and omg that bed, I’ve been looking online to purchase the mattress it was so comfortable. Access to the lounge was an added bonus, it did get rather busy though. Breakfast was included with my room and it made a great start to the day. I would definitely stay again before a flight

A very short stay at a lovely hotel
A very brief stay for a sleep before getting a 5:30 flight from Gatwick. Circumstances meant we arrived at 8:30 and departed at 3:00 the next morning. Check in was very easy, room was what we expected and our automated wake up call was on time.
Next time we hope to have a meal, drink in the bar and enjoy ourselves!

Noisy aircon
We thought the aircon was really noisy and so didn’t get a good nights sleep
