Clean and comfortable rooms, although bed was a little on the hard side for me personally. Excellent noise insulation despite being in a very busy area. Good breakfast. Pleasant staff.
Exaxtly what we needed for location and price. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast had plenty of options and catered for GF.. Adrianna who checked us in was especially helpful. Would stay there again.
Excellent location, moments from Leicester Square and Picadilly Circus. Room was reasonably big for central London, bed was super comfy. Staff were great, sending some Prosecco to the room when they heard it was our Anniversary. Despite being so close to buzzing nightlife, we didnt hear any noise in the room. Overall, couldnt fault it.

Room very nice. Very clean comfortable. View was not nice all vents etc . 5th floor. Breakfast buffet was nice basic but ok. There is Greggs and McDonald’s outside the hotel so won’t pay £50 extra for breakfast again. Reception small and needs updating . Does not look posh and looks tired
Room is clean. Hotel staff are friendly. Great location where is near Chinatown. A lot of restaurants nearby. Close to public transportation and able to walk around for sightseeing.
The staff was amazing! Also, the luggage storage was top tier and super helpful. They kept our bags before and after our stay so that we could enjoy London. This is also on a main tube line so you wont have to take many Ubers. It was a great location with Regent Street being less than 5 minutes walking distance and Bond Street was 10 minutes away. We also walked to Buckingham Palace which was 20 minutes away. The surrounding area was bustling but the hotel is actually quiet and super clean. We had three adults in our room with plenty of space. I plan to stay here for years to come.
Friendly staff, always available to greet & help. Only downside to room, but it was incredibly inconvenient, was the lack of bright lighting. Would have been useful particularly in bathroom

The stay started badly when we had to wait for the only lift working and it only took two people before setting of the overweight alarm. Our room was on the 7th floor so we had to use the stairs several times. The bathroom was a disaster with difficulty getting the toilet to flush. We had to wait 15 minutes in the morning to get hot water. Initially there was no water, maybe someone else turned of the taps in their room allowing us to get water. The bed was very uncomfortable and badly made, the bottom sheet didn’t reach the bottom of the bed. The quilt was soiled.
Breakfast was ok. Reception staff were friendly.
Clearly not worth the money!
