Highs & Lows

Super attentive customer service was the first thing I noticed. Met with a smile and warmth at check in, all staff continued to be incredibly friendly throughout my stay

The infrared sauna at the wellness spa was everything I’ve ever needed after a long day at work

Le Coucou's dining experience blew me away. Left my belly happy and my mouth still watering

The sleep was deep - can I take the bed and pillows back home with me?

Located in the heart of Soho, the area can be quite noisy. But if you keep the windows closed you can barely hear a peep

It was just sad to see disposable cups at the minibar and in the bathroom and single use toiletries
