Fabulous hotel just off Leicester Square but incredibly quiet considering its location. Lovely room and bathroom. Excellent value for money considering the location. Everything is in walking distance and open late! Would definitely book again.

This hotel was in the perfect spot. It was well taken care of and the staff was wonderful. The only issue that I had was that the AC didnt cool the whole room on a hot day. The staff gave us fans to help, but it was still warm. Overall, this place is nice. The breakfast was wrll worth the investment as well.

Location is perfect , very clean . Modern, I believe the steps towards the elevator are a little awkward specially when you are pulling luggage. Music is very loud at front desk and waiting areas, making very hard to talk.
