Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is unbeatable, next to key attractions in central London, making it easy to explore without always needing transportation. The service was outstanding, with staff ready to assist in arranging tours and dining reservations. The dining experience was pleasant, offering a good selection at a reasonable price. However, the rooms were not prepared upon arrival and were slightly warm during the night, falling short of expectations for a central London hotel at that rate.
The hotel, although not spacious, offers a decent stay in a luxurious area. The rooms are very disappointing, especially the bathrooms, reaching a high 3-star level at best. Despite being tastefully decorated and relatively well-equipped, they fall short with stained carpets and dated bathrooms. The service is kind and helpful while the location is excellent for exploring central London. However, the dining experience falls short with limited options and self-service taking place. Overall, a mixed experience with potential for improvement.
The hotel's location is just beyond fantastic, offering easy access to major attractions like Leicester Square and Covent Garden. The rooms, while accommodating a double bed and featuring a comfortable bed, were a bit hot and dated for a 5-star property. The service was courteous overall, with minor delays in receiving tea during breakfast. The dining experience was average for the price, with limited choices and early closing times. Despite some drawbacks, the fantastic location was the highlight of the stay.
I wasn't particularly impressed with the room I was given as it had a view of a brick wall and the constant sound of an A/C unit. Considering the price was similar to other hotels in the area offering better accommodations, this was a letdown for me. However, the hotel is conveniently located and offers easy access to various attractions in London. The dining experience was quite good, with a diverse breakfast selection, although there were some minor service issues during my stay.
I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a little tired and I unfortunately got a noisy room near the meeting rooms. However, the service was top-notch with friendly staff always ready to assist. The location is superb in the heart of the west end, but the dining experience fell short with limited options.
The hotel has a lovely entrance but falls short in room space, making it feel cramped. The service, while not overly welcoming, was efficient, though lacking personal touches. The location is superb for exploring London but the dining options could be improved.
Despite some room issues and service inconsistencies, the hotel's location is excellent and convenient, offering easy access to local attractions. The dining experience was below expectations, but the hotel has potential to improve in various aspects.
The hotel's location near Piccadilly and attractions is fantastic, with lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. While the rooms lacked views and sunlight, the newly decorated room was a significant improvement. The connecting room noise was bothersome, and the delayed check-in was a downside.
The hotel has a fantastic location, right in the heart of the city with everything at your fingertips. The rooms were clean and spacious but needed upgrading. The service was polite and helpful, although there were some issues with accidental charges. Dining options were good overall, despite some initial hiccups. The central location makes it perfect for exploring Soho, Chinatown, and other attractions.
The hotel is located perfectly in the center, making it super convenient for shopping, theater visits, and exploring the Royal Academy. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable, felt a bit tired and smaller than expected. The service was excellent with very friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience had its hiccups with delays in replenishing food items but the hot sandwiches were a hit. The location is fabulous with great accessibility and a cozy but slightly dated ambiance.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was perfect, right in the center of Piccadilly Circus with easy access to the Underground and main shopping streets, but the rooms were basic and in need of a refresh. The service was informative, but signs of lack of leadership were apparent. The dining experience fell short of expectations for a five-star hotel.
The hotel had a really lovely feel to it and was fantastic being just a minute walk from Piccadilly Circus. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the wait due to a conservatory not being ready was a downside. The staff, especially at reception, were really friendly. The dining experience was not as enjoyable, and the breakfast buffet was limited. Overall, the location compensates for any downsides, and the pool area was well-maintained.
I felt like I was staying in a suite rather than a room, but the dusty and broken phone was a letdown. Housekeeping was late each day, only tidying up after 4 pm. The staff, however, were friendly, kind, and very helpful, which made up for some of the initial flaws. The location was fantastic, making us feel central to everything the city had to offer, although it felt a bit cramped at times with non-residents passing through. The dining options were nice with a good selection available. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were in need of updating and decor, but they had a nice view overlooking Piccadilly. However, they appeared dated and required a deep clean. The service was disappointing at times, with staff not always being friendly, although some issues were promptly resolved. The location was undoubtedly the highlight, offering easy access to major attractions and friendly staff. Overall, the hotel's facilities were decent.
I stayed at the hotel and had a mixed experience. The location was superb, right in the heart of all the action with easy access to major attractions, but the room felt a little dated and lacked ventilation. The service was attentive and accommodating, although there was one incident. The dining options were convenient but had some flaws to note.
