Stayed in this hotel for a long weekend in London and would return. The location is brilliant-between Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square. The room was lovely, the bathroom in need of a bit of work but that wasn't a big deal. We had no major dealings with the staff but they seemed nice. Got a great deal off the londontown.com... more

This hotel is in an excellent central location for sightseeing and theatre visits in London. Theatres are in walking distance as are many bars and restaurants. With the central location comes noise however! We were glad we took earplugs! The room was fine, bathroom a bit jaded and scruffy. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly and very efficient.... more

I can honestly say that this is the best hotel I have stayed in in London for sightseeing purposes. The location is superb, perfect for a theatre trip, and we found we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The room and bed were enormous and the facilities in there pretty good, just slightly let down by a... more

Absolutely lovely hotel between Picadilly Circus and Liecester Square, but on a quiet street so little street noise. Beautiful and comfortable rooms, lovely full English breakfast FANTASTIC location for London sightseeing. National Gallery and Portrait Gallery are right next store - theatre district 2 blocks away. Wonderful experience. more

Thought twice about booking this hotel (in a theatre deal with lastminute) after some of the older reviews here, but glad I did! Amazing location just off Trafalgar Square next to National Gallery, but remarkably quiet. We had a good-sized room on sixth floor, clean with good sound-proofing. Helpful and friendly staff too. While it hasn't got any particularly special... more

I stayed here on a visit to see The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre and this hotel was an excellent choice as it was only a few minutes’ walk to the theatre. The hotel is currently undergoing some exterior work but this didn’t inconvenience my stay at all. My room was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Check... more

The location is really nice. It is in the centre, yet it is very quite and you don't hear the buss of the Leicester square and Picсadily as you might from some other hotels in the area. It is situated close to Picсadily Circus and Charing Cross, so getting there is very easy from wherever in London. The rooms are... more

We stayed in this hotel for one night due to a congress in London and we were very pleased. I didn't check the reviews on Tripadvisor before this time because the hotel was booked by our secretary. However I was surprised to read such bad reviews! We noticed nothing of the sorts. The room was clean and very large, the... more

Stayed here for one night whilst in London on business. Queued behind an American lady to book in and she was complaining about some of the bedrooms and I think she had been in 2 or 3 already. When I got to my room it was small with 2 single beds as my husband was joining me I rang down... more

Well, I also was slighty cautious of this hotel due to previous reviews! Well I needn't have worried. I booked a hotel and show package with last minute.com for a surprise Birthday present for my Husband, I chose this hotel due to the fact that dinner and breakfast was included, I did upgrade the room to a suite which I... more
