Francesca

Hotel is conveniently located, but needs updating and was not as clean as I would want. Check in and check out are difficult to manage given there are 5 or 6 steps at the front entrance with no ramp for luggage and no staff to assist. Lastly, I had a room with one small window facing a brick wall, so the lighting was poor.

It was OK. The breakfast wasn’t very good, especially for the price. Also, the carpet in the room wasn’t very, ‘grand’. Looked like it came from a Ramada Inn from the 90’s. The staff was very friendly, but we would not stay here again considering all the other options in London.

Overnight stay

Ideal location for Theatre,galleries etc. Quiet room despite close proximity to bustling area of Trafalgar Square. Room and bathroom are spacious,a little dated but clean. Bed a small double but linen lovely and comfortable. Expensive for what you get-a no frills, basic room but central location commands the price. Breakfast not good value either.

The hotel is located on a small quiet street right off Trafalgar Sq. , which makes it a great place to stay for vacations or business trips. The property is clean and the rooms are well cared for. The staff is exceptional. The receptionists are as welcoming, informative and helpful as can be. I loved our stay at this hotel and recommend it highly.
