This hotel was a very lovely place to stay. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit and if a bit far the bus was round the corner. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The fridge was very well stocked and we even had a bottle of water which was replenished every day. I would highly recommend

Hotel was nice but no quiet space except your room. Piped music everywhere even in the library. Stuff was nice but... Ordinary. Good room sq ft, but poor usability for that. Mattress was all shapes and worn. Location is proper great though, convenient for the Mile.

My wife had a great stay at Virgin. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. We had a great dinner at the Commons Club. The staff were friendly and helpful. Then we left and took the train to London only to realize we had left our passports behind at the hotel. The staff went above and beyond to assist us in getting them back to us in time to make our flight the next morning. We can’t thank them enough for helping us out of this major jam.

Our room was lovely but the toilet seat moved sideways when you sat on it! I'm in the holiday business myself and this gets pointed out to us. You only know if you use it. The service while excellent when it happened was extremely slow. 20 minutes waiting for tea/coffee at breakfast. An hour in the restaurant waiting for our meal.
