Leisure & Business

“In my opinion, this property, while marketing itself as a five-star hotel, appears to be closer to a well-maintained three or four-star establishment. Its eco-friendly focus and wellness spa are definite assets, creating a relaxing atmosphere, but some aspects require updating. Its proximity to the River Thames and Clapham Junction offers both scenic views and convenient transport.”
