The location of the hotel was wonderful, close to theatres, Leicester square, China town, art galleries and Trafalgar square to name a few. The room was clean and spacious. The room and bathroom were clean but looked a little tired in places - grouting in places, furnishings however all in all a great stay and wound return again.
