We stayed one night and went to see Don Carlo at the Opera House - within easy walking distance. Friendly welcome and beautiful room with free water, fruit, tea and coffee and biscuits and newspaper in the morning. Although the room was at the front , it was well insulated for sound and we slept very well in the comfortable... More

Right in the heart of things. You are right on the doorstep of Soho life, Chinatown, Piccadilly, etc, etc. The hotel is in a great place. I only had a single room as it was just a place to sleep after a night out. The room was very small and cramped, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable.... More

Really enjoyed our stay here! Great location! We stayed in 410 which is perfect as its on a side street and gets less noise than the front of the hotel. Our room was clean, comfy and nice. Windows open which is omportant to us. Room could use some updating but still nice. Our only minor problem was the very creaky... More

My girlfriend and I travelled to london on a weekend break and stayed at this hotel. My first impression was that it was a little small, however it is grand in its style, service, and quality.

Weekend visit with friends. Wonderful location - convenient for walking to most major 'sights' and theatres. Staff extemely helpful and always smiling. Breakfast - good selection. Shaftesbury Avenue lively on Saturday evening and therefore a bit noisy - but nothing we weren't expecting. All in all a great choice for a city visit.

Friendly and helpful staff. Centrally located between China Town, Soho and Leicester Square. Good breakfast selection. Great to be able to have free water and fruit in the room. Our room did face Shaftesbury Avenue therefore was a little noisy on the Saturday night, however we slept fine on Sunday night.
