“Practically perfect Aldwych icon”
One Aldwych is called practically perfect in every way: a warmly decorated, well-appointed hotel in the heart of London near many tube lines, with luxurious rooms, impeccable staff who go out of their way, true five-star service and delicious, beautifully served breakfast. Thoughtful touches abound — complimentary minibar snacks, a Dyson dryer, multi-port sockets, excellent turndown, constant water, to-die-for raspberry chocolates — plus lightning room service and a superb deluxe upgrade. One honest knock: doors slam loudly and the toilet flush is startlingly explosive.
