"Nice hotel"

Nice hotel comfy bed, clean, quiet room and very convenient for theaterland and Westend cinemas etc. Staff very polite and helpfull. Only gripe bar and breakfast charges ridiculously expensive even for London. Great place to stay but eat and drink out is my advice.

Small rooms and limited facilities, but clean and quiet and in an excellent position for visiting London. All of the hotel staff were exceptional, attentive, helpful and pleasant, as someone who stays in hotels around the world throughout the year it was a refreshing change to find efficient and happy staff from breakfast, through to the night porter.

"Couldn`t do enough"

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. I have been lucky enough to have travelled quite a bit over the years in both my personal and professional life. This hotel was quality with a personal touch. It was spotless and modern and the staff could not do enough for us...which can`t be said for many hotels these days. Well done and thank you.

I recommend this hotel - everything was perfectly acceptable. One strange thing though is one of the bath towels was damp hanging on the door hook as though staff had helped themselves to a quick shower...not a great problem.

"Great Hotel,Very Welcoming Staff and Very well located."

On arrival we were met with bad news, The room was`nt ready and none were available. However with a few taps of the computer keyboard from very welcoming staff a free upgrade was quickly sorted and we were in the lift on the way to our suite. We found the hotel room to be very tidy with a lovely roof top view overlooking trafalgar square obviously helped by being on the 4th floor. Would not expect the same kind of view from a lower floor. This got our stay in London to a very good start and thats how it continued for the duration.

"Fantastic location. Quiet but so easy for theatre land, restaurants, pubs etc"

Overall a very good hotel. We were upgraded to an executive room which was nice but as ever, London hotels underwhelm me for the price! Bathroom had mould on the ceiling around the shower and the pedal bin stank of stale cigarettes each time it was opened. Double glazing was also full of mildew and mould but otherwise the room was clean, the bed HUGE and very comfortable and the shower was good too. Fabulous location for our purposes. Didn`t have to get in a tube/bus/taxi as it`s so central to Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, theatre land etc and as it`s set down a side street, it was incredibly quiet for a central London location. Staff were friendly. I would stay there again.

"Friendly, helpful staff."

The location is fantastic, about 200 yards from Queens Theatre, and very central, walking distance for lots of places, including Regents Street, Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. Round the corner from Leicester Square. Room was immaculately clean, but the best thing about this hotel was the staff. Polite, friendly, courteous, interested, and couldn`t do enough for you. The lady who checked us in was great, the Spanish barman was very helpful. Overall the staff were faultless. My sister, who was with me, works for the NHS, and said this is how she wants her staff to be, rather than rude and disinterested. The staff could give lessons to public facing staff in lots of environments. So overall, fantastic location, clean, and great staff. I would definitely go again.

"Nice hotel, location questionable"

Although the hotel was great, nice room and friendly staff, the side street location was questionable. A bit of a tramps hang out. Also, don`t bother with the breakfast. £12 each and just not value for money whatsoever. Pretty terrible to be honest. I couldn`t even cut my sausage due to it being over cooked!

"Bathroom in room 401 is in need of maintenance."

The grout in the bathroom had come away which meams the tile edges on the floor where sharpe. The shower head moved about as it could not be tightened up. The room was noicy at night due to a disco over the road.

"Excellent location for West End shows just off Leicester Square. "

Service excellent with relaxing atmosphere. However, hotel room a bit small and lack of attention to detail, such as dirty pillow case, short flex on kettle (health and safety issue), not enough condiments and difficult to open and slightly cheap metal condiment/napkin boxes unfortunately prevents our rating of this 4 star hotel as excellent. Breakfast good.
