This lovely boutique hotel exceeded expectations with a kind staff, cleanliness, excellent gym pool, & beautiful accommodations. Our room was just what the photo promised on their website. We especially appreciated the welcome gift of mini cupcakes, cherries & truffles:) The complimentary still water, snacks & drinks from the mini bar which were replaced every day. Overall, we highly recommend One Aldwych for its convenient location in the heart of Covent Garden. We were able to walk to all the wonderful restaurants in SoHo & enjoy easy access to all the big attractions in the West End: musicals, Big Ben Parliament Westminster Abbey, & Trafalgar Square.
