Great staff. Great location, Good breakfast buffet, Safe & secure at night. Room was looking a bit dated. Crack in the sink. Painted poorly in the bathroom. Bed was smaller than the mattress so kept slipping off the edge of the bed. After all that I would still stay in the future as the location was perfect for the West End.

Waited 30 mins to be served for a drink at the bar, the barmaid said she would be 1 min but served 4 others before us so we got up amd went to a different location for a drink. We also had no tv control in our room when we booked in and had to ask 3 times for one amd eventually getting it after nearly.5 hours. the room was nice

We paid for a deluxe room which wasn’t much more expensive than a standard room. The room was very big for central London. Huge comfortable bed. Excellent facilities, fridge, safe, coffee machine, ironing facilities, large TV. Breakfast was £18 per head if booked the night before. Very good choice and friendly helpful staff. Only slight disappointment was the bar, no draught beer and a very limited selection of just a few bottled beers. Excellent location.

The location is fine. The room smelled badly of cleaning chemicals when I entered. Thankfully the air con circulation got rid of it. The air con was not easy to adjust or turn on/off

Check-in staff were friendly and pleasant. Room (Junior Suite) was lovely, clean and tidy. Only downsides were that the view was just of other building, apparently all JS’s are on the 3rd floor so no options for better view, also there was a small mark and a cut in the bed sheet but this was changed immediately and the house keeping manager attended personally and inspected the rest of bed to make sure it was clean. We were able to get a late checkout (12pm) at no charge and they held our bags while we were being tourists. Absolutely great location 5 mins to both Leicester and Trafalgar squares. Definitely stay again.
