I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite spacious and had a unique setup, which I found charming. The area is perfect for exploring London's West End, making it super convenient for shows and shopping. The staff was exceptionally friendly and ready to help with anything we needed. On the downside, the dining experience was just okay, and the location had a bit of a grimy street vibe, which was off-putting.

6.6/10

The hotel is well-located for exploring the city, being just a short tube ride or a quick walk away from major attractions like the West End and the Haymarket Theatre. The rooms are on the smaller side, but generally clean and have modern amenities. While the staff are friendly and welcoming, the dining experience left something to be desired due to slow service and limited options at breakfast. Overall, it’s a decent choice for those looking for convenience and value in a bustling area.
