Very Comfortable Central London Hotel

Very comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Great location in Central London. Just a couple of blocks from Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. Could use more storage space in room and bathroom. Breakfast was great.
Richard, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were lovely and attentive. The hotel was fine and whilst not luxury there was nothing wrong with it, clean had what we needed, reasonable breakfast but the location was fantastic and ideal. Would definitely stay there again. We don’t go away to stay in the hotel anyway.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Position for central London was perfect. Straight into the nightlife and theatres within 200 yds. 1/4 mile from St James and a 3/4 mile from Westminster.

Perfect Hotel in a great location

Check in was quick and the desk agent was wonderful. The room was bigger than expected and comfortable. The room was clean and did not smell. This location is down a quiet street behind the National Gallery. Very quick walk to Picadilly Circus Underground. Took us 1hr on the underground from Heathrow. I will stay here again the next time we visit London Center.

Nice hotel
Samuel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our best deal in Central London.

The location on a quiet street just behind Leister Square is great. 10 minutes to Covent Garden, West End Shows and Piccadilly Circus without the outside noise. Breakfast was also great ( made omelettes to order plus full English breakfast buffet). Room size with king bed was great. Better value for the $$$ than some of the larger nearby properties. Premium linens and towels. You can use the gym at the Piccadilly property 100 yards up the street. Only negative was that the bathroom had very dim lighting.

Ok. Comfortable enough. Good location

Ok. Comfortable enough. Toilet didn’t flush properly if at all. Room was very hot when we arrived and had to ask reception to help us with the air cooling. Phoned for room service only to be told the kitchen was shut. Times on menu need to be rectified.

Best location!

The hotels location is perfect. And while it’s in the heart of everything it’s shockingly quiet and we slept well. The front desk staff are very helpful and friendly with anything you need. We will absolutely book this property again!
