8/10 Good
"Great location super central to Charing Cross and the West End. Staff were superb all of them very helpful with a few situations that arose. All positive. Rooms extremely small but functional. No place to put your clothes so for my purpose difficult as I had meetings and had to be dressed so probably not for the fashionista. Unpacking your suitcase every day but nowhere to put it except the bed. Not ideal. But a great place if you travel light and want near all the sights....then ideal"

"We stayed two nights while in London. They held our bags before check in and after check out. We were out exploring 12+ hours a day. We used the club while we were waiting for our train though we had checked out hours earlier. Great facilities, super friendly staff. We did use the laundry, detergent was available and included. The scent was strong for my liking but still smelled better than dirty clothes and now we have clean clothes when we arrive home. Highly recommend this hotel."
