It took some time to attract any attention for us to be seated. We were told in very broken English that the Chef had been taken ill, and then something about dessert. We were served a glass of pressecco, which was very average, then ignored for 30 long minutes.
To be fair, the ambulance crew was being shown into the kitchen.
We were just about to leave when three of our four starters were delivered. The food was OK, but nothing special. The tuna was way past its best and had a pasty texture.
After we finished the three starters, the fourth was brought out, a crab slider. Bland greasy deep fried nothingness with a sauce that should have been wasabi buy tasted of nothing.
The plates were cleared, we waited longer, and eventually, the dessert was brought out. By this time, I'd lost interest altogether. The Panna cotta was the best thing there. Scones were good, the chocolate mousse was bitter and rich, but a bit too much for me.
I didn't eat the mochi for no other reason than I was annoyed.
After all this, we were offered tea.
Eventually, some poor waitress who had not served us and had just started her shift had the misfortune to ask us if everything was OK. To my shame what started as a complaint finished as a rant. I got more annoyed at her and raised my voice. Eventually she excused herself.
I should have asked for the manager, and she should have been trained to fetch the manager at such an encounter.
If you are reading this. I humbly apologise for being rude. It was not your fault at all.
However the manager was. We were offered a full refund as this was a pre paid Christmas present. I'm not local to london so this was part of a weekend away.
To the owners.
When you are unable to deliver the service you advertise you need to offer your clients the chance to take their business elsewhere.
If I had been told clearly on arrival that the chef had been taken ill and that you were not able to offer the service you'd normally offer I would have been slightly disappointed but I would have admired you for your honesty.
Instead I upset one of your staff and spoilt my own weekend.
Service was ok.. the staff were quite rude. Particularly the man behind the bar, you could tell he didn't want to be there (even when asking for a glass of water, I was rewarded with an annoyed stare). Security guard (male, supervising the late shift) was also really rude - no patience and very unfriendly, when I asked for my jacket from the cloakroom it seemed to be a real nuisance!
Receptionists didn’t help us with our complains. I’d like to giving thank you to Russian-speaker housekeeper. She was helpful and friendly.
I don’t recommend this hotel for my friends.
It has such a unique vibe and you can really feel the warm and authentic touch of owners Mark & Sherene on everything - little might you guess the power couple they are.
From basement (set up for gigs and screenings) to rooftop (equipped with hot tub and heaters) everything is considered. Cannot wait to return.
I have to say I was blown away by the venue (decor / location etc) but especially by the vibe of the place!! The staff are awesome & so hospitable & kind & I will definitely be back!!
The performers were magnificent too - pulling off a great acoustic show in a cinema the way they did is no mean feat!!
HUGE thanks to all the team there for making the event possible!!!
THE coolest hotel in London!
