Great location for visitors wishing to see major sights or for locals spend weekend in town for shows, restaurants etc. For those able to walk 30 minutes I'd estimate 75% of major London attractions are in range. Otherwise multiple Rail, Tube, Taxi, bus options are 5 minutes away. There are a lot of Hotel options in this area. Many are considerably higher rate with different experiences. If you want a clean comfortable room, with the typical facilities you'd expect at a reasonable rate (for central London) and being in town, who you're with and what you do are stars of your trip, this could be a great option for you. If you want your hotel to take a higher role you can get better experience nearby but at higher cost. I was overall happy with stay but couldn't give 5 star review as the glass in the window of my room was broken and repaired by plastic film. (this may have been temporary repair but I can only rate what I see). In summary good place to stay, pleasant staff but lightly staffed, good value if you get a reasonable rate

Location was perfect for sightseeing. Walkable to a lot of major tourist attractions. Loved Concerto Cafe next door. Club lounge on first floor was a nice touch to regroup with family before heading off to bed or meeting in the morning. The foyer was lovely and impressive. However the rooms and hallways need to be updated. Staff was helpful, professional and welcoming. I would stay here again.

Hotel was in ideal location for visiting London and seeing all the attractions. Bus and underground were nearby. Theater was a few blocks away and plenty of restaurants and pubs. Room was on smaller size but very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for someone coming to London on vacation and wants to sightsee.
