Perfect location in central London walking distance to hundreds of restaurants, shopping, theaters, and the tube. Loved the black out curtains for extra sleep. Breakfast buffet was also great.

The property is in a great location
Nice hotel however the walls are so thin you don’t get much sleep if you have noisy neighbours!
Water took a good 10 minutes to get hot
Beds and pillows ok but I’ve had better
Air conditioning noisy at night time
Lovely breakfast and helpful staff

Staff very helpful; nice room; easy access to Leicester Square and Chinatown.
Room very clean and spacious, location brilliant. Only issues were that I personally found the bed quite hard and one of the lifts being out of service for the two days we were there was a nuisance
