Anne, 6-night trip

6/10 Okay

A pretty good and affordable hotel. The location is excellent. It’s steps from Trafalgar Square and the theatre district but still on a quiet street. The air conditioning broke halfway through a weeklong stay and it was very warm. They were trying to fix it but never did.
Ted, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

great staff in a perfect location
Joel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Close to everything but at the same time two blocks away from the noise and chaos of Piccadilly Circus. It is what I needed, not fancy but clean and comfortable, and very close to public transportation, and also close to the theaters. We just walked from the hotel to everywhere.
Carlos, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

nice and friendly staff. I would recommend and stay here again
Angela, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The sink in the bathroom was blocked, the corridors smelled very musty. But hotel have a great location, so close to everything. Friendly staff.
Mandi, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous hotel just off Leicester Square but incredibly quiet considering its location. Lovely room and bathroom. Excellent value for money considering the location. Everything is in walking distance and open late! Would definitely book again.
