The location of the hotel was wonderful, close to theatres, Leicester square, China town, art galleries and Trafalgar square to name a few. The room was clean and spacious. The room and bathroom were clean but looked a little tired in places - grouting in places, furnishings however all in all a great stay and wound return again.
Judith, 1-night trip

In a great area with lots of restaurants walkable near by
Jaysla, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great choice for a good price

We had difficulties for the first two nights with the air conditioning. Elizabeth at the front desk was amazing. She was able to switch us to a new room for the remaining two nights. The second room was not as spacious and the bathroom was quite small. But the air conditioning was glorious. Great location near Trafalgar Square. Perfect location.

Fine other than the bugs

A/C didn’t work and gnats kept appearing in the bathroom, possibly emerging from the shower drain. Clean otherwise. Staff friendly and helpful.
