New Barnet Leisure Centre

The hotel has an excellent location right in the heart of London. It’s close to Chinatown, surrounded by plenty of restaurants, and within walking distance of The National Gallery. There’s also a bus stop directly in front of the hotel, and the Underground station with a direct line to Heathrow Airport is only about a five‑minute walk away. For convenience, the location is hard to beat. The room itself was a bit small, but still reasonable for central London. The bigger issue was the room layout and organization. We had just come off a cruise, and surprisingly, the cruise cabin—despite being smaller—was far more functional. In the hotel room, there wasn’t much space to place personal items, toiletries, or even basic things like toothpaste. The design simply wasn’t very practical. The biggest problem was the bathroom lighting. The bathroom light is tied to the bedroom light, so you cannot turn on the bathroom light unless the bedroom light is also on. This setup is very inconvenient, especially at night. I’m not sure if all rooms are wired this way, but it definitely affected the comfort of the stay. Overall, the location is fantastic, but the room design and lighting setup could use significant improvement.

The location is unbeatable. The breakfast buffet is unbelievably good. The room was big and comfortable. This is probably the best hotel we’ve stayed for the past few years.

Good hotel, excellent breakfast buffet. Very small rooms. Friendly staff. Not super centrally located but bus stop 2 min away convenient
