My stay at The Resident was fantastic! The rooms were very comfortable and had adequate amenities, making it feel like a home away from home. Despite overlooking the road, it was surprisingly quiet in the evening. The service was top-notch; the staff were divine and incredibly welcoming, which was a pleasant surprise for a city-central hotel. The location was very central to Covent Garden and the theatre district. The hotel is well-presented and close to everything one might need, with great transport links. The dining experience, particularly the homemade cakes, was excellent.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were designed to be practical and functional with a very comfortable bed and great mini kitchen facilities. They were spacious enough for our group of three. The service was top-notch, with informative and friendly staff who were always ready to help. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Covent Garden with easy access to shops, restaurants, bars, and theatres. Although the dining options were not included in the room price, there were plenty of places nearby to enjoy a meal. Overall, a great value for the money.
