Great Location!

crarod68 2/26/2025 TripAdvisor review

Fantastic location with amazing staff!

Olivia M. Families - 2/21/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed for two nights celebrating my daughter's birthday. The location was in a beautiful safe area, close to all the sights and shopping areas. Only a four minute walk from Piccadilly Circus underground and less than two minute walk from His Majesty's Theatre. The staff could not have been more helpful. From pre stay directions to advice on where to go, eat and things to enjoy. The rooms are gorgeous and the bed was super comfortable. It may appear on the more expensive side of accommodation you save with the location as you can pretty much walk everywhere. Would definitely recommend and will stay when we visit again.

Great Hotel

Sarah Solo - 2/21/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

I was very impressed with the hotel. The public spaces are great and my room was spacious. It was very well equipped, bed very comfortable and it was immaculate. All of the staff I met were fantastic particularly on check in and the bar/restaurant. I only had one small issue which was breakfast. I had breakfast on one morning and the service was slow and seemed very disorganised. I waited nearly 25 minutes for a coffee to be served and longer for the cooked item I ordered. I wasn’t the only one who had issues as the lady on the table next to me complained also. Apart from that I really enjoyed my stay and will return.
