Check-in staff were friendly and pleasant. Room (Junior Suite) was lovely, clean and tidy. Only downsides were that the view was just of other building, apparently all JS’s are on the 3rd floor so no options for better view, also there was a small mark and a cut in the bed sheet but this was changed immediately and the house keeping manager attended personally and inspected the rest of bed to make sure it was clean. We were able to get a late checkout (12pm) at no charge and they held our bags while we were being tourists. Absolutely great location 5 mins to both Leicester and Trafalgar squares. Definitely stay again.

Very nice hotel, the staff are very helpful, we didnt have any hot water, I rang reception and they sent a maintenance man immediately in fact three different ones came within 15 mins of wach other for the same problem. It was solved very quickly. Well worth the money, comfortable with all the nice things, coffee machine, good hairdryer, iron and board, large towels and a huge bed!
