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 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.
