The location was acceptable.
The room felt quite small though. I expected more space for the price, and it was a bit disappointing.. the minibar prices were higher than displayed on the list in the room!

Really good Stay Near Covent Garden

excellent servicetaxi arrangementpersonalized notehigh security
The front desk staff provided excellent service. They helped arrange taxis and suggested good restaurants. A personalized note and wine welcomed me to my room. The hotel ensured security and maintained cleanliness. I found it very safe.
The facilities did not quite align with the price point. It was a very slight mismatch. I noticed that compared to online images.
