    close to covent garden and big ben for easy walking

    during my two-night stay, I loved the easy walk to Covent Garden just a few steps away and the stunning views of Big Ben only a short stroll further, making it perfect for city exploration as a solo traveler who enjoys wandering through vibrant streets and soaking in park views.

    great atmosphere
    tasty breakfast
    unclean bathroom

    Had an amazing time with friends! We loved seeing a fantastic show at the West End and enjoyed a cozy meal at the hotel bar. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax after our adventures. Definitely recommend the breakfast. it had plenty of tasty options.

    However, one bathroom issue stood out. It needed a thorough cleaning. we found dust and grime that made it uncomfortable.

    good location, but lacking quality

    The location is excellent for exploring the city with easy access to various attractions. The breakfast options were decent, providing a variety to choose from.

    However, the overall experience fell short of a true 4-star standard.

    Great location with friendly staff

    The hotel was perfectly situated, making it easy to walk to Covent Garden and the British Museum. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which really enhanced our stay. I enjoyed the comfortable bed and found the breakfast variety impressive, especially the fresh pastries and organic juices. However, the room could have benefited from a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness.

    location feature
    breakfast variety
    small room
    lacking amenities
    noise disturbance

    The location is a standout feature, with easy access to major attractions like Covent Garden and Theatreland. While the room was reasonably clean, it felt a bit cramped for a family with children. The breakfast offered a decent array of choices, but basic amenities were notably lacking, which detracted from the overall experience.

    theater experience
    family-friendly dining
    soundproofing issues

    We loved staying close to London's shopping and theater areas, which was perfect for our family. We caught a fantastic show in the West End and enjoyed great meals at nearby restaurants. The breakfast had plenty of tasty options for everyone!

    In my wife’s opinion, the room needed soundproofing to drown out the street noise. It’s tough managing small kids with all that distraction.

    good location

    Great place for a solo traveler

    The room was basic but very clean, just what I needed. Location was perfect, only a two minute walk to my course and close to Oxford street for shopping.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable for what I got.
