Location was great for this hotel, just off the main shopping road so very convenient. Staff were very good. Rooms nice. Price for breakfast was over the top but there are a couple of cafes just a few doors down. More

This hotel was just very bog standard really for a 4 star London hotel. Nothing terrible about it, but nothing particularly great either. Our bathroom (room 519) needed some attention. The bathroom door would not open unless pushed hard because it became jammed against the floor. I mentioned this to Reception who said they would ask Maintenance to sort it... More

The location is great--just up the street from the British Museum and a couple of minutes from the Tube and buses. The hotel itself is very attractive, with comfortable rooms. (I loved the radiant heat in the tile floors of the bathroom!) Only negative was the... More

Short stroll to theatres, restaurants,... More

Stayed at the hotel several times in the last year (2011) for business. Rooms are great, service is excellent and the location is unbeatable - on SOHO and Covent Garden, and within walking distance from everywhere else (unless you prefer the tube of course). Only issue is that pricing can vary a lot (which is also true for other hotels... More

I was with a friend and the hotel happily turned our room into a twin bedded room for the weekend. The room was lovely and clean with modern and stylish bathroom (took a while to work... More
