    Some of the staff.. not so good. The room was quite basic and there were no freebies.

    Some of the staff were lovely and very professional. Location, round the corner from Trafalgar Square. There was a rest and relaxation room with free coffee that was amazing.

    Breakfast expensive and not much choice for vegans. Small lifts but that can't be helped. I struggled to get my folding bike into the lift but was unsure if there was bike storage.

    Perfect location for central London. Staff were really helpful. Helping me with my bicycle, giving advice and just being lovely. Big rooms for central london and great showers.

    Breakfast choice was not very good if you don't want a cooked breakfast and the coffee machines kept breaking.

    We were visiting the Kit Kat Club so the hotel was in a perfect place. The rooms were very nice but a little dated perhaps this is in keeping with the style of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful

    The location is very good, as a visitors, almost all tourists attractions is within walking distances. There are plernty of restaurants in the area as well. We didn't like bathroom as it was very small even with european standard. We didn't take breakfast with room reservation as it was quite expensive. However, hotel restaurant doesn't offer a snack or individual pastries etc, howver they do provide a free coffee and tea in the lounge.

    I didn't like the loud heating facility in the room. I travelled in late April 2024 which was unexpectedly cold outside; therefore, turning the heater on was a necessity in the evening. Although I am used to loud life with two kids living in a noisy city, the heater was loud even for me. Duvet was warm, so we turned off the equipment after the first night. However, I never enjoyed the constant coldness of the room. Also, for the breakfast room an additional coffee machine is a must. The machine not only runs slow but there is only one of it, so in the rush of the morning there is always a long queue. Hot water for the tea is also provided from the same machine. You should first get your drink and then use the buffett otherwise your food will be cold. It is not possible to get a refill unless you have a flexible agenda for the day. This problem requires an urgent solution.

    Location is superb. It is in walking distance to Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Regent Street. It is possible to avoid transportation in a short London trip relying mainly on shopping and food. Both Charing Cross Tube station and Embankment are within ease of reach. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast is good in food variety and quality.

    The room and the hallway was a little worn. The ice machine was not operating for 3 of the 4 days.

    The location was fabulous. We were in London to visit the popular tourist sites and the location was perfect for this. The view of the Strand was also good.
