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.

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.
