Guest Reviews
- Wayne (1/5): Terrible - Nothing Staff rude
Paint on curtains
Paid way too much
- janet (8/5): -
- Kirsi (9/5): - Erinomainen sijainti sekä lentokenttäkulkemista (Heathrow/Piccadilly line) että kaupunkiin tutustumista ajatellen.
Kivat yleiset tilat. Hyvä aamiainen.
- Timothy (9/5): -
- Muhittin Bilal (7/5): -
- Anne (8/5): - Idealement situé pour visiter le centte de londres Immeuble en face tres Bryuant le matin
- Mafalda (8/5): -
- martin (8/5): Good stopover for a great show but not worth the extra costs - Location, breakfast, room, AC - beds ok but not great Costs - we usually stay at Premier Inn (none available this time) and their costs are only about £150 per night - this hotel didn't warrant over £200 more as it was providing almost exactly the same service.
Bathroom was a bit tight - wc very close to shower screen.
- Julian (9/5): -
- Debbie (9/5): Would return - Slow reception Fine
- Sebastian (6/5): -
- Tommy (6/5): Overall a good stay, just annoying with the noise. - Really good location, staff was helpful and room was very good for the price. The continuous noise from doors closing was very annoying, unsure if it was the cleaners early on. But could hear every door slam closed
- Martin (8/5): Good location, comfortable stay - The staff were very welcoming and profession. Hotel was easy to find, clean and comfortable. Very spacious sized rooms, well stocked bathrooms and a nice selection of teas and coffee. Slightly noisy corridors from floorboard movement.
- Benoît (8/5): - La localisation est parfaite. Le petit déjeuner est tres bon avec des produits de qualité mais en passant cinq nuits dans l'hôtel il n'y a eu aucune variation.
- anonymous (9/5): - Everything No aplicable

- Borg Xuereb (10/5): HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. - It's right in the centre of the action. Walking distance from most attractions. The hotel rooms are very spacious, clean and well decorated. Highly recommended.
- Montagnon (8/5): -
- Harvey (8/5): Propre, très bien situé - Bien situé, près de tout
- Daly (1/5): Non- Existent. I was informed on arrival that there were no rooms available. Moved elsewhere! - When I arrived I was informed no room was available. This is despite having booked this weeks ago. I was informed this was due to refurbishment which makes no sense as this would have been known in advance. The Duty Manager only booked me to another Hotel when I arrived so clearly the Hotel had been over booked. I was moved to a different Hotel.
- Petra (6/5): Cena dost vysoká, hotel má opotřebovaný interiér, ale má skvělou polohu a dostupnost od metra. - Hotel má skvělé umístění, vše na dosah. Je možné uložit zavazadla do úschovny. Příjemný personál na recepci. Nabíjet mobil lze i bez adaptéru, pokud máte s sebou kabel usb-A, usb-C. Snídaně jsou průměrné, vše bylo dost mastné. Prostor pro snídani je příliš klimatizovaný, pokud si dáte čaj/kafe na stůl,za chvili jsou studené. Nábytek dost použitý, na pokoji číslo 605 (pod střechou) každou noc a ráno hluk zvenku od klimatizací na střeše. WC neodtékalo,šlo špatně spláchnout a postrádá wc štětku. Matrace jsou pérové a měkké, takže se moc nevyspíte. Okna nebyly myté, interiér opotřebený. Skrz stěny slyšíte veškerý hluk z chodby.

- Kloba (8/5): Velké poděkování personálu hotelu, ochota a empatie. Umístění ubytování bylo super, téměř v centru. - Ovládání toalety šlo velmi ztěžka, pro dítě je spláchnutí toalety neproveditelné.

- Juana (8/5): -
- Irma (8/5): Siisti hotelli, mutta ei voinut aina luottaa siihen, että asiat sujuvat. - Henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja ystävällistä, mutta tuli vaikutelma, ettei kovin ammatillista ainakaan vielä. Minulta tivattiin olinko maksanut aamiaisen, vaikka olin maksanut. Näin ei yleensä tapahdu. Pizzan kanssa ei lainkaan oreganoa! Ystävääni veloitettiin liikaa ravintolassa. Koko ajan piti olla tarkkana. Ks yllä
- Chris (5/5): Great location average hotel and overpriced - Location was super and staff are good We had a king size deluxe. It was hardly deluxe. had to move rooms as the mattress you could feel the springs through it. Changed to another room which was so poorly appointed and cramped and once again in the bed wasn’t overly comfortable.
- Colclough (10/5): Had an amazing night stay - Breakfast was delicious, Wasnt an amazing view from our room, but was on the 5th floor, so was only rooftops to see really, but was fine
- Elisabetta (9/5): Un hotel nel cuore di Londra - Abbiamo soggiornato due notti, in famiglia in due camere separate. L'accoglienza è stata ottima. Tutto il personale molto disponibile e con il sorriso.
La colazione ottima, varietà di dolce e salato: Croissant, succhi, yogurt, cereali, pane tostato, marmellate, English breakfast, the, caffè,...
La posizione ottima per visitare il centro e vicinissima alla metro. La moquette. Il bagno cieco e senza ricircolo di aria. Mobilio un po' datato. Il divano letto dove ha dormito mia figlia, scomodo.
- Svetlana (7/5): מלון מנצח בזכות מקום שלו. - מקום מושלם. ממש במרכז העיר מאחורי נישנל גלרי,קל היה להגיע לתחבורה ציבורית ולכול איזורי בילוי , מסעדות , ברגל לביג בן ולונדון איי. לא הפעילו מזגן בחדר בטענה שכרגע מכינים את המלון לתקופת קיץ. למרות שביקשנו-מזגן לא הופעל, עמדו בחדר שתי מאווררים שהשתמשנו. השרות בחדר מבחינת ניקיון והחלפת מגבות עשו מאוד מאוחר , פעם דפקו בדלת בשעה 16 ולמרות שרצינו לנוח לא יצא לנו, הרגשה שאנו שם כדי לרצות אותם ולא הם אותנו כי אורחים. צריך לקחת את זה בחשבון. ארוחת בוקר דלה ולא מגוונת, אבל בשביל לונדון כנראה זה בסדר.
- Louis (8/5): -
- Catherine (8/5): -
- Sue (8/5): Clean, comfortable and very convenient to the West End theaters. - My standard double room was a nice size. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a large stall shower and nice big terry towels. You could opt for daily maid service or go "green" and get a credit in the bar. The breakfast buffet had a large selection including traditional English breakfast offerings as well as cereals, yogurts, fruit, and various pastries. The location could not be beat if you were attending the theater and the Leicester Square Tube stop was very convenient. Also, as a single woman traveler, I felt very safe. Very helpful and friendly staff The hotel needs a bit of a refresh. The common area carpets are worn in spots and it needs a coat of fresh paint.
- Igor (10/5): We were satisfied and if we come again would choose it again. - The hotel has a great location. Many attractions are within walking distance (Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, London Eye, ...).
A very pleasant surprise was the room, which was spacious and had a large bed. Everything was also very clean. The breakfast was fairly standard but offered a good variety of choices. The hotel staff were very friendly as well.
We were
- Elena (10/5): Привлекательная гостиница в центре Лондона. - Отличная гостиница в самом центре Лондона. Многие знаковые достопримечательности - Лейстер сквер, Трафальгарская площадь и другие - в нескольких минутах ходьбы. Биг Бен тоже недалеко. Номер просторный и уютный. Персонал приветливый. Завтрак отличный. Всё очень понравилось. Нет такого.
- James (10/5): -
- Debra (9/5): Recommended for an extended stay in London. - Clean, good location, spacious rooms, helpful and pleasant staff, kitchen server in evenings incredible kind and friendly. Only one snafu with housekeeping requiring obtaining linens late evening - didn’t go smoothly but they did bring us linens after a bit.
- Tamara (7/5): Se o quarto fosse maior seria perfeito - A localização O tamanho do quarto
- Fernando (10/5): Bom hotel, em localização estratégica para visitar Londres - Excelente localização, perto de varias estacoes de metro e de diversos restaurantes. Hotel moderno, quarto limpo. Tamanho do quarto. Falta espaco para abrir a mala.
- Karen (7/5): Was in great location and room was good for short stay - Room well maintained and clean - staff very accommodating and friendly After theatre bar order - panini hard and inedible but offered bun and no service charge - staff try to accommodate
Tv in room only had 2 accessible channels in evening but not a biggie as only there for one night
- elazar (8/5): -
- Rich Fisher (8/5): Great location, very quiet. - Breakfast was very nice with lots of options, small rolls, 2 types of eggs, tomatoes, baked beans, back bacon, sausage (i.e., traditional English breakfast) plus fruit, yogurt and cereal options. Hall carpet was showing signs of wear and perhaps in need of a shampoo.
- Alida Mari (10/5): -
- Michele (8/5): - posizione eccezionale sala colazione piccola rispetto alla dimensione hotel e non molto ricca rispetto alla media di pari categoria
tende in camera un po sporche con evidenti segni di macchie nere
bagno molto piccolo e vecchio
- Caroline (9/5): Comfortable stay in an excellent location - Excellent location and lovely staff. The room was spacious and very comfortable with an amazing shower!

- Angela (8/5): Excellent location. - Love the morning and evening bar and restaurant staff, especially Kim and Cyril.
Location is excellent right around the corner from Trafalgar sq and the National and Portrait galleries. The bar prices are typical of 4 star hotel, which means very expensive. Best to pop across the road and buy any drink yourself.
- Gaibie (10/5): -
- Moore (9/5): - Location, size of room Room very hot, unable to open windows air conditioning, and didn't do a lot
- Black (5/5): - The position The room was very small.
The reception staff were slow and not very helpful.
We wanted a drink from the bar after the theatre. There was noone manning the bar. Reception staff said they'd be back and to wait. We waited...noone came, receptionist ignored us. We left and bought refreshment from the shop across the road.
Hotel tatty.
The name, gave us hope of a nice hotel...we were disappointed.

- Juliet (8/5): -
- Yaron (8/5): - Friendly staff and great location, spacious room Water pressure needs serious help, beds can be less wobbly. Nespresso capsule refill would be cool.
- Helga (8/5): Angenehmes Hotel für Kurzbesuch in toller Lage - Lage ist hervorragend, kurze Wege zu Fuß zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Frühstück war sehr gut, warmes Essen. Zimmer angenehm, ausreichend groß und ausreichend ausgestattet. Sehr praktisches Hotel für Kurzbesuch. Wir würden wieder kommen. Sauberkeit war nicht berauschend, in unserem Kühlschrank befand sich Essen vom vorigen Gast... (kann mal übersehen werden, sollte aber nicht)
Wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten im Zimmer.
- Marie (7/5): - Emplacement parfait La climatisation ne fonctionnait pas dans la chambre, il y avait juste un gros ventilateur très bruyant. J’aurais apprécié d’être avertie
- Julie (6/5): Pleasant but only due to location & staff not room quality - Location is great. Reception staff are lovely! Executive room needs a serious refurbishment
- Carl (7/5): Great overall stay - Location and clean room Noisy outside due to roads and a cut through
- Simon (9/5): -
- Judith (10/5): Perfect for theatre land. - Good location, perfect for a trip to the theatre. Nothing
- Elaine (10/5): Perfect location for a London city break - Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful and full of smiles.
The room was wonderful and the location of the hotel is just perfect for visiting the theatre and major attractions, yet as it is down a side street it is remarkably quiet.
Breakfast was one of the very best I have every enjoyed in a hotel in this country or overseas.
I had mentioned on booking that it was my friend's 70th birthday and staff were all aware of this when we checked in and they went above and beyond anything I could have expected to make her stay memorable.
They even happily stored our bags for a couple of hours after checkout so we could visit the National Gallery which is next door.
I will definitely be booking this hotel again in the future. Nothing!
Except I have told SO many people how wonderful it is that I may struggle to book in again in the future as everyone will be booking! LOL!

- Sara (8/5): - I liked the location and the connection of transport that is near the property. The staff is super friendly as well! The breakfast is standard, nothing much (eggs, toasts etc) but they do offer gluten free options which is very important for me. The property is okay, but the floors are squeaking, the closet is full of dust. I had a feeling it is all kind of old..
- Jolena (10/5): - Brilliant location.. fantastic staff..and absolutely amazing value for money..will definitely be returning 😁
- Steven (9/5): Amazing breakfast 10/10 - Great location
- Linda (7/5): Excellent - Staff and location excellent Shower door didn't close causing water un bathroom
- Stew (9/5): Fabulous location - Amazing location seconds from Leicester square and minutes from covent garden . I expected water and tissues in the room. Shower caps were not in the room but were available at reception when I requested.
- Giorgio (9/5): - La posizione centrale rispetto a tutte le attrazioni turistiche, ma in una via tranquilla; l'offerta è la qualità della colazione; le dotazioni in camera (c'era anche l'asse ed il ferro da stiro ); lo staff che ci coccolati L'assenza del bidet in bagno, .a questo è comune in GB
- CHIARA (10/5): -
