Sanderson

I stayed here with my wife for a weekend. I was a bit unsure about whether this would be one of those overly fussy places where everyone wants a tip for everything and hangs around like a nasty whiff. Thankfully, there was none of that. It was like 'we're there if you need us'.

The hotel is fantastic to look at when you walk in. Very trendy. The lift's are cool with a dark space theme and music playing. The staff are very nice. Professional and far more approachable than the stuffy types you can get at other upmarket hotels around the Park Lane area.

The Suka restaurant is great. The food is sheer bliss. A word of note though, you'll need to bring your wallet for this. We thought it was a main meal sort of thing but it became apparent that each of the meals are 'tapas' style -and 3 dishes are recommended. In my view, if you need 3 of these dishes, you're either extremely hungry, or have issues with eating. The food itself is beautiful but each of these tapas range between about L12 up to a whopping L20-ish just for a single tapas style plate.

If you get 3 dishes, you're looking at c. L45 - L60 just for your main course dish(es).

The drinks are also very pricey. c. L10 for a glass of wine. L5 for a bottle of water. L4.50 for an OJ. Four of us ate (no dessert and two on soft drinks) and I was expecting the bill to come in at about L150. It came to about L300 which when two are drinking soft drinks, works out at quite a lot. Thankfully, the food was very good.

Overall, this is a great hotel. Yes it's pricey but hey, you're staying at one of the nicest hotels in London that's unlke most hotels you'll ever stay in (in a positve way). You know what you're letting yourself in for. You will walk out of this hotel feeling like an A Lister, which let's face it, is why you'll be staying in this hotel in the first place. It'd be a bit like buying a Bentley and complaining that it drinks too much juice.

Re the rooms, the funky theme continues. Nothing like any other hotel I've stayed in but that's a good thing. We had a superior room which was great. I don't know what the standard rooms are like but in realirt, they're probably a bit on the small side but 1, you only need the room for a sleep and 2, the rest of the hotel more than makes up for it.

If you want to treat yourself, I would highly recommend this hotel. We would defintely return.

Thank you to the staff for making it a lovely weekend.
