Brownsea Island Holidays

We stayed here as a family of three. The room was exactly what we needed, enough space, really well equipped, clean and comfortable. On the whole thoroughly impressed with this as a base for a stay in central London. Hope to book there again in the future.

The staff and location are what make this place so special. The staff worked hard to help me with theirs party issues and looked after me, one day running down the street to let me know my backpack was open. The staff and food next door were exceptional. This entire team was terrific. Will stay again

Charming hotel in a historic building. The late Victorian building was once the headquarters of the British secret service and so has echoes of Sidney Reilly, Bruce Lockhart and Ian Fleming . It was also housed the U.S. Embassy and the Soviet Embassy (on different floors) during WWIi. Winston Churchill had an office in the Liberal Club, which shares the building with the hotel. Aside from atmosphere, the hotel has a friendly staff who are eager to do things for the guests. Whitehall Gardens lies in back of the hotel, giving it a pretty setting. Good views of the Embankment and the Thames from that side of the hotel. It is an older building and has some quirks. For example, the floor takes awhile to get used to. However, it is evident that considerable money has been spent to modernize both the rooms and the public areas. The location is great. It lies in the heart of Central London. The Houses of Parliament are a few steps in one direction and Trafalgar Square is a few steps in the other direction. Great for tourists and for those with business in political London. The hotel has several dining venues including an outdoor terrace overlooking Whitehall Gardens. Very nice buffet breakfast.

Clean and great location

Room service went above and beyond for us letting us order right at closing time after our dinner delivery never showed up from another restaurant.
