Fantastic Experience near Covent Garden

modern roomfree drinksfriendly service
I had a really lovely stay. My room was very spacious and modern. It included complimentary soft drinks, even milk in small glass bottles for the Nespresso machine. The television was hi-tech and could pivot to face either the bed or the sofa. Room service and breakfast in the dining room were both very good. The service was friendly.
The mini-bar was only stocked for the first night. I wish it had been replenished daily.
