Arrived early with my sister. They gave us two room (306 & 901). My sister's 306 was large room with a sitting area. They said they upgraded me because I would be there for 3 nights. Unfortunately, the only upgrade was the bed to avKing. Thos room was by the elevatir. Small and could hear every voice on the floor. I DO NOT THINK I'LL STAY HERE AGAIN. Plus the front door man was very aggressive when my sister went out to meet her car service. So sad to see a gem go down hill so fadt.

Great location but just off the Main Street. The bedding and towels were very nice. The bathroom was smaller than expected for a Superior Twin, (smaller than the photo). The first time I stayed here it was larger. Also, the bathroom Ned’s some maintenance, paint and shower door.

This was only a short stay so we weren't able to take full advantage of the hotel, but I did ask in advance if they could recognise my partner's birthday in some way, and we walked in to find lovely rose petals on the bed, a bottle of bubbles and a lovely note which really set the tone for the evening. Will definitely choose the Cavendish again for a London stay
