As a solo female traveler, this was the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. It was centrally located in the theater district and an easy walk to all of my shows. The rooms are tiny, but I was by myself so I really didn’t need space. The water pressure in the shower was phenomenal. I got a windowless room and slept like a rock in the complete darkness. If you’re looking for a place to stay in central London as an individual or couple, this is the place for you. The staff was friendly and accommodating and they held my bags for me while I explored the city before check-in.

Didn't feel very clean, there were bits of dust on the bed, a giant pole in the middle of the room, made access to bed inconvenient

We used this location for a three night stop in between trips. We arrived early and exhausted from travel. The staff were lovely and found a room that was ready early so we could shower and rest. The in-hotel cafe/restaurant was wonderful for a quick breakfast or late night snack without worry. Rooms were clean and had many gadgets. Staff were very attentive making it feel very homey even for the few days we were there.
