Guide Review - The Selfridge Hotel Review
The Selfridge is very centrally located, and rather plush in the reception and public areas, although a little jaded on closer inspection.
The standard rooms were just that, but not as small as I was led to believe they would be having read reviews on tripadvisor.com. Again a bit tatty when you looked into the corners, but clean, and comfortable.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful, which I also hadn't expected after reading the reviews.
The food in the restaurant was of very good quality, although minimalist, but the prices were pretty fair for a Central London location.
Breakfast, which was included, was very pleasing to the eye, and plentiful with a lot to choose from, but the cooked breakfast wasn't cooked particularly well, although you could have as much as you wanted. As I was leaving one of the Managers was inspecting it, and didn't seem too pleased with it either, and if I was one of the chefs, I would probably rectify that straight away, because he didn't look the sort to be messed with!
