Laura from Ponsan Soubiran, FR (Mature couple) 24 September 2008

For a 4 star hotel I expected a bath and a safe in the room. I had to ask for extra pillows 3 times! Expensive for what turned out to be a rather basic room. £20 for breakfast per person is extortionate. Do yourself a favour and pop to Garfunkels, a couple of doors down. (107293497)

positive comments Great location Nice room Comfortable bed
negative comments No bath No safe in room Road noise No restaurant

Very good indeed. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Excellent value for money. (97151250)

positive comments Location, location,location! Very convenient for all central sights and shopping. Smallish rooms but very well appointed with nice bed linen & spotless, up to date bathrooms. Very helpful staff. Furniture & furnishings stylish and smart.
negative comments Not bad points really but be aware that rooms are small & bathroom is tiny with shower only. (But shower is big!) At time of our visit, there was no restaurant or bar. (Not a problem for us with Convent Garden just down the road!)

The hotel provides drinking water on all levels and also has a snack bar on one level. The location was amazing, right beside buckingham palace and leicester square. Lots of great restaurants in the area. You could control the temperature in the rooms and they were really clean and fresh. Internet facility in all rooms meant we could look up attractions in the area. (97703758)

positive comments The décor was beautiful and really tasteful.
negative comments Nothing, it was lovely.

Well located hotel, with impressive entrance. At the moment only a room only establishment, but I believe this is being up graded. The room was very good, comfortable bed, good tv and excellent shower. (97144303)

positive comments Clean, perfect location, friendly staff, they gave me a room with a view of big ben etc for no extra cost
negative comments they dont do continental breakfasts in the room, very odd i think for what seems such a nice hotel. many places very close to eat though. also the facility for the mp3 player didnt work, selection of music on the tv system though. room also smaller than shown in the pictures and the smallest wardrobe in the world...almost pointless!

Great hotel in a great location for the theatre. There is not bar/restaurant in the hotel and I am sure that the website mentioned that there was! Apart from that we enjoyed our stay. Checking out at midday is also a bonus so was the ice and cooled water that is situated outside the rooms for customer use. (99607560)

positive comments A very modern comfortable room - small but adequate
