Stayed here on Saturday 28th July 2007 with 2 friends. I had rung to check that they had a left luggage facility, but we were able to check in to our room when we arrived at 11.30am which was really useful. Please note that the reception staff, whilst not rude, have certainly not been to charm school! (Water off a duck's back to us though).
We had a one bed suite with a (slightly tatty and slightly squeaky) sofa bed in the lounge. There was a tv and mini hifi. The kitchen is tiny - fridge, microwave, hot plates, dishwasher. No washing up liquid or tea towels, but we there was one dishwasher tablet. There is no tea / coffee / sugar etc. The shower in the bathroom was very weak and there was a bath which had slightly wobbly taps. There were 2 towels each and the usual bathroom miniatures.
Overall, the apartment was clean, and although basic, it met all of our needs for an overnight stay (we went out for dinner). In the kitchen we didn't use the hot plates but everything else worked fine. We all slept well despite a minor distrubance from the bin men on the streets below (we were on the first floor).
Finally - the Tesco Express on the corner of N'land Ave & Trafalgar Square is very small - and doesn't stock newspapers. There is a bigger one at the far end of the Strand, but the best is the Covent Garden Metro on Bedford Street.
There is also a small M&S food store at Charing Cross.
We would happily stay here again.
