The front desk was extremely helpful as was a seamless check in and return of security deposit.
The hotel is very clean and extremely convenient for walking the city and exploring. We felt very safe as there were nights when we were at shows that did not get out until after 10 PM and we walked back to the room.
What absolutely book again.

Nice hotel with a super friendly staff. Quick check in and the receptionist came with me to the room to show me the amenities. Room size is ok but my room 202 has no view…A wall view. Soft drinks, milk, water and biscuits in the room are all free. The location is very good near most of the theatres…Many cafes and restaurants nearby.

The room was tired and we was told we had an upgraded room with a walk in shower. In reality it was a disabled room. It was hard using the sink, as we are both tall people and with no where to store anything it was disappointing. The room itself was tired and stale, with no air conditioning and this made it hard to sleep. The communal spaces, also had a stale smell.

From pulling up outside the service was outstanding. The doorman opened the taxi door, helped me with my case and delivered me to the reception, where I was offered prosecco whilst checking in. Throughout my stay service from all members of staff I came into contact with was excellent. The room was spacious and very stylish. Food was delicious. This is my hotel of choice whilst in London and this stay was exceptional as normal.
