The Junior Suite was spacious and fantastic, felt roomy and so comfortable. The breakfast was great and the location superb.
I travel a lot internationally and this has been my favorite hotel in London.
Definitely will stay again!!
The location was great for us. We could walk less than two minutes to the British Museum!
The staff was very helpful and friendly.
The room was spotless!

Hotel was clean enough but it looked very tired, only one small elevator working. Carpets looked very worn out, needed some TLC. But in a good position for walking to Covent Garden/Soho etc
Nice hotel really close to Soho-Covent Garden, way easy to be in-out of the city by train or plane, locations was top close to bars and reastaurant areas, bus stop outside of the hotel with bus-routes to get you everywhere. Hotel room was big, enough for a 2 friends trip, 2 beds, accomodations were nice, looked really clean, a bit noisy doors in the hallways that’s it, staff nice.
The staff helped us with our bags into the building. We had a nice room and was able to enjoy the bathroom tub and shower. Being it was an older building, even with the attempt to muffle the noise with extra layer of windows, due to the hotel room facing Bloomsbury Way, it was hard to keep all the noise, especially the sirens from being loud.
The room was big enough for the three of us to spread out and not feel cramped together. The hotel was walking distance to most of the things we wanted to see and do. Would definitely stay there again.
A warm welcome . Staff were friendly , helpful and professional. Good choice at breakfast , including porridge. Staff in the restaurant worked hard to maintain and replenish food and clear the tables .
Loved the neighborhood!!!! The staff were extremely accommodating. The room was spacious, clean, comfy. Breakfast left a bit to be desired, but did the job. Want to come back and stay here!!.

Hotel/room had an issue and staff booked us to another hotel (5-star). They provided us transportation to this other hotel which was also in a great location. So I can't say much about their hotel, since we didn't stay there, but the staff support was excellent. Kudos to them we still had a nice stay!

Good enough hotel to stay at if all you're doing is resting your head between daily excursions. Which most likely is what everyone visting a city like London is looking for.
Awesome staff, great location, amazing quality for the price. Was pleasantly surprised at how large a regular room was. Highly recommend, would stay here again.
