"Dirty , Stained Carpets come on in!!"
The hotel was of a poor standard, the carpeting was all stained - the rooms were small - our room was set up for 1 person 1cup, 1 set of towels, etc. Our key wouldn`t open the door - so the chambermaid opened it for us - when we returned the problem still hadn`t been fixed although we reported it to the concierge and left the damaged key with him under the understanding it would be sorted on our return some 7 hours later - the Duty Manager did sort it later for us and was very apologetic. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone - it needs a refurbishment project - We didn`t try breakfast!

"Service excellent from all staff the best we have had from a hotel after the Waldorf in New York."
The hotel was very clean and well presented and we enjoyed a lovely stay in a superb location for the West End theatres.The food was great especially the breakfast buffet where quality, choice and quantity were only surpasssed by the superb service from all the staff at all times. Deserves a 5 star rating for quality and value. Thanks for making our break complete.

"A centrally located hotel providing excellent customer service"
The hotel is situated in a convenient central location with excellent travel links. A tad dated, however, the staff and in particular the Concierge were welcoming and only too happy to help with enquiries. Our bedroom was also a great size with plenty of room to move around. We intend to use the hotel again for a future similar break.

"Only cold water in bathroom on first morning"
First night spoilt by no hot water in morning, complained to the reception staff and were not impressed by the excuse and attitude, there was no mention of sorry. After making our views known we were offered a free bottle of wine or a free lunch as they could not discount our stay because it was booked from First direct. Generally the hotel was okay breakfast were good, small points let the place down like stained carpets in the corridor. a broken cystern top replaced with a tatty piece of painted ply. and stained and torn bed base. the Hotel lacked attention to detail.

"Overall we were very pleased with our stay at your Hotel"
On this site the booking in time is 2.00pm at the hotel it is 3.00pm !!! The staff on booking in very friendly, room was very good and clean. Brakfast was excellent . The only down on our stay was that when we checked out the only words from the young girl on reception were "Your account is paid " she never asked if we had enjoyed our stay. It was just a DISMISSAL !!!!!

"Great location, friendly staff"
The hotel is only 10 minutes walk from Covent Garden and is very well placed for everything else. The staff were helpful with any questions we had, the breakfast was fantastic and the room, although dated, was quiet and had a great shower. I would definitely go back.

"Fantastic friendly staff, wonderful breakfast, quiet room, perfect stay for a night at the theatre"
Although the decor was a little dated the hotel was clean and comfortable, all the staff were helpful and polite. Meal deals were explained and when we had a problem with the heater the consierge fixed it immediately - press the off button on the hand set!- without making us feel stupid. Booked 2 rooms and were put on the same floor, around the corner from each other, not always the case at other hotels. Easy walk to tube and on to Piccadilly Circus, perfect for the theatre. We will be staying here again. Thank you

"Check-in to check-out"
From the time we arrived till we left our stay was very relaxing. Also the hotel was very central to everything we wanted to see, ie theatres, museums etc. Room was well appointed and clean. But the staff made the stay, all were very well trained and helpful.

"A good friendly hotel in the mid-price range"
The staff were always helpful and friendly - a boon as I arrived at 10.30pm. The room was clean and adequate. My only grouch is the amount of noise from other guests talking loudly in the corridor at 1 am (hardly the hotel`s fault) and taking a bath at what sounded like inches from my ear at 3 am - perhaps more sound-proofing would help there?

"friendly personnel and excellent location for theatre going and visiting museums."
Friendly personnel (especially at the reception desk and at the restaurant - evening meals). The rooms were quite large, the room cleaning very well done, the bathroom was clean and luckily without carpet on the floor (as it happened once for a stay in a four star hotel nearby where we stayed some time ago!). The hotel is ideally located: Covent Garden is just a 15 minutes stroll, the British Museum just five, a lot of small restaurantsand bars for going out in the evening nearby. And also St Pancras station (Eurostar terminal) is also very close. Very happy about our choice

"Por lo general buen hotel, bien situado y acogedor."
Solo estuve alojado 2 dias, pero el hotel me gusto, el servicio muy agradable. Es un poco viejo pero esta limpio, esta muy bien situado. quizas lo peor fue el desayuno poca variedad y algunas cosas como el chocolate y las tostadas te las cobran aparte. Le recomiendo

"Friendly and helpful reception staff. Hotel needs some refurbishment."
First room offered was small, asked for larger room and was given one straight away but it had very creaky floorboards. Breakfast OK but very noisy with loud background tele on.

"Room a bit dated but adequate. "
Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast on Sunday was a bit chaotic due to the number of people in the Brasserie.

"An enjoyable visit."
Excellent location - close to tube station and therefore easy access to all tourist attractions, but also close enough to walk to British Museum, Covent Garden and theatres in West End. Pleasant and courteous staff, well maintained hotel with good local restaurants. We will definitely consider returning.
