I doubt I can make Marriott Titanium this year, but I’m just a couple of nights short of Platinum. Having already stayed at numerous Marriott properties in London I want to add one more to my collection, and St Ermins<\/a> stands out after I’ve checked some reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel is just one block away from the St James Park tube station, and thus fairly close to the Conrad London hotel<\/a>. On the one hand it’s a really quiet neighbourhood, on the other hand it’s only a few minutes from the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. I’m visiting Tate Britain in the afternoon, which is also nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel entrance is lightened by a small but beautiful courtyard garden.<\/p>\n\n\n

The lobby doesn’t look bad either. The front desk is very friendly, keeps checking if I have any request. My room isn’t ready yet at 12pm so I left my bags with the concierge.<\/p>\n\n\n

Reports say that their standard rooms are tiny. My Suite Night Upgrade cleared a couple of days before my stay for the best suite of the hotel. It’s good, but nothing spectacular I’m afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n

Door to the small balcony is locked, but I guess you can ask the staff to open it.<\/p>\n\n\n

The bedroom is cosy.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bathroom looks nice although a bit tired as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

The rain shower is controlled by a digital panel. <\/p>\n\n\n

Breakfast is complimentary to Titanium members, and you can choose 1,000 points or $10 credit on top.<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s mainly buffet but I think there are some egg dishes you can order as well. The selection and quality are mediocre.<\/p>\n\n\n

Given what I read online and that I used a SNU award, I had high expectations and I can’t stay the hotel stands up to it. It’s a bit disappointing especially considering what SNU got me at the Marriott County Hall hotel<\/a>. If you would like to stay in this area, I think the Conrad is a better choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
