"The room was a good size with a nice bathroom which had a separate shower to the bath.
We parked on-site for convenience, but it was quite expensive. It would be cheaper to park at Canary Wharf for 24 Hours and get the hotel shuttle bus back."
"I chose this hotel for its central location within 6 minutes of Holborn's Underground station. Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Oxford St. are easily walkable from the hotel.
I especially liked the daily breakfast (GBP 13.95) with fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, baked goodies, juices and prepared foods (my favorite was the ham and cheese omelette). The staff heated the cold food upon request, and the front desk staff were efficient. The hotel was very clean, and housekeeping...
"Beautiful room with a wonderful view of the wharf, but not the best choice for a long stay. The basic room is very small and becomes stuffy after a long day or a couple hot showers. There are no ice machines, or a refrigerator, or a microwave in the room, making storing and reheating leftovers as well as keeping drinks cool very difficult. Fitness center and gym are only accessible for a fee and there is no onsite parking. Staff, however, were very nice and very helpful!"
