The staff was amazing from check-in through departure, consistently very helpful, upbeat, and professional. The common areas are very lovely, with the lounge being an especially beautiful and inviting amenity. The location couldn't be better, just a few steps from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery and the Charring Cross Tube Station and a few blocks from the Thames, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Saint James Park, Covent Gardens, and the Theatre District. There are wonderful restaurants every few steps. Stay here. You will be glad that you did.

Don’t book for the air conditioning or laundry rm.

One of the reasons I booked this hotel is because it is listed as having air conditioning. It does have ac, but it didn’t cool the room very much. The window only opened a tiny bit, so it was hot. The other reason I boooked this hotel is for the laundry facilities. I tried to wash clothes MULTIPLE times, but with one washer and one dryer in a big hotel, it was next to impossible. I wound up staying up VERY late one night to do laundry, as it was constantly occupied any other time I tried to do a load. This was a big annoyances for me since we had just gotten off a long cruise and all of our clothes were dirty. I actually wound up washing clothes in the sink the first night so we had something to wear. The location of the hotel is great and staff was super friendly and helpful. It’s a tired hotel in need of a refresh, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me.

My first time in London

We had a great stay! The whole front desk staff was very helpful with any questions we had about transportation and they were all very friendly. The hotel is in a great spot, close to the underground and some great must see tourist spots. Would stay there again!
