Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers excellent and comfortable rooms, with a perfect location for the West End, though not as pictured during booking. The service was outstanding, especially accommodating early check-in and going out of their way to assist us. The location is top-notch, within walking distance of restaurants and the subway. The dining experience provided everything you could want, despite some dishes being subpar.
I found the hotel to have a beautiful king-sized bed that was extremely comfortable. The room felt a bit stuffy and noisy due to the air conditioning, and there was a unique layout involving stairs. The service was slow to refill buffet items but conveniently close to the tube station. The location was not the best, as it was on a crowded street, but within walking distance to theaters and underground stations. The dining options were good, with a decent selection and service. Overall, a mixed experience but with some highlights.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, although a bit tired, were very clean, quiet, and comfortable with a great temperature control system and free wifi. The service was friendly and efficient, and the location was just perfect for our needs with plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown with some food issues, but overall, a good stay.
I loved the hotel's convenient location for exploring the city, although the room upgrade was smaller than expected. The wooden doors added a nice touch, but the rooms were quite hot during my stay. The service was superb, with friendly and helpful staff who even accommodated early check-in. The dining options were above average, especially the breakfast selection. The facilities were adequate, but the room could have been more spacious for the price paid.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were super comfortable and very clean, exactly what we needed after exploring London all day. The disabled facilities and proximity to Holborn tube station were exceptional. However, not all aspects were perfect, as some staff members were disinterested at times.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives: the room was situated at the back on the 1st floor with an obscured view and uncomfortable pillows, but we received complementary food and drink when it wasn't quite ready. The temperature control in the room was a bit tricky, either too hot or too cold.
