I had a lady taking care of me who was very pleasant and gave me champagne as soon as I arrived and then helped me unpacking without me even asking. During the stay I had fresh cakes brought to the room every day and the butler responded quickly every time I called her. I am wondering now if I was only lucky then after reading your posting. I am planning to go back to London next month and I have already booked a butler room but after your experience I'm a bit confused. I wonder if somebody else has different experiences of the butler service at the London Park Tower.
Thanks for your feedback...Wow you had cakes brought to you everyday.. I am still at the hotel, so will ring the butler [again] and ASK for cake.

I agreed with the above poster, the view of the park has nothing to do with the room category that you booked. The Butler/Exectuive rooms are on the higher floor.

Again, from my experience, I would not pay 60-120 Pounds more for what is essentially the same room but with some minor amenities included.. If you travel alone (as I do in most of my business trips), paying for a lower category room and paying for breakfast (18-27 Pounds) and pressing is still cheaper than the butler experience.
