A Lovely Hotel

Hotel was really nice. Problem with the reservation where only one room had been reserved rather than 2 however resolved at check-in by the hotel. Would stay here again.

Great overnight stay

We came to London to see a couple of shows and stayed just one night. For London the price was low so we were really surprised at the quality and the standard of service. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room was great and all the staff were so polite and helpful. We were able to leave our bags on both days very easily which was a great help. We had a drink in the bar and coffee and pastry in the coffee shop - both were good. We will certainly stay here again!

Theatre family trip

Fir the size of the hotel the service and staff were excellent.,we really liked the extra security they had .breakfast was nice with lots of choice we would definitely stay there again as it was quite central for getting to places
MARGARET, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent for an overnighter

Great location and did the job for a couple of nights. Very busy outside of the room we had so rather noisy. No aircon which was uncomfortable on a very hot weekend. The staff are the best feature - excellent team.
Emma, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good value if you dont mind noise and disorder

Check-in was very disorganised, and the staff treated customers with an air of indifference.

Great hotel stay

Great hotel, perfect for our trip to Shaftesbury Avenue. Comfortable room/beds, lovely bathrooom. Excellent breakfast with loads of choice.
Nicola, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location, great all rounder, good price.

The standout for me, aside from the location, is the incredible plumbing. Silly as it sounds you can fill a deep bath with scalding hot water in about 90 seconds, as an engineer at heart i find it so impressive that a hotel this size can do this 24/7. Staff are brilliant and so attentive. Rooms arent anything special but the amenities are all there and they are clean, and again with everything within a 20 min walk, from theaters to restaurants to the major train stations, its a great choice. After 2 stays, this is now my "go to" for a night a the theatre in London.

Decent

It was a decent hotel although was a bit noisy outside and the pipework. Could also have been cleaned a little more. There was hairs in the shower and was a bit dusty. Good location though
