We stayed for one night for a short shopping trip and a night out in Covent Garden. It is perfectly located, we walked to both Oxford Street and to Covent Garden which was perfect for our purposes. If needed the tube stops Holborn and Russel Square are within walking distance. The hotel is very modern, clean cut and the service... More

Great service. Staff love their job and are so helpful. Price is very reasonable for what you get! Would not hesitate to recommend it. Great breakfast - faultless and I stayed for a whole week! Room service is fast and not expensive. Brilliant location. Very french and chic but very comfortable.

We are two couples (in our 60s) who go every year for a theatre break to London and this was our first time in this hotel. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful.

Stayed one night on business. Friendly, fast service throughout. Good quality room service at reasonable price. Lots of extras included: robe/slippers/water/wine/chocolates/turn down service/free wifi. Room high standard but small, the toilet was crammed in a corner of the bathroom and a bit of a squeeze to sit on - glad I'm not taller/bigger!
