The hotel is great and on a great location. The staff are friendly and professional. We had a wonderful stay for our first London trip. I wish the hotel has a microwave on the floor, similar as where the water is! Also the hotel is lack of a sitting area in the lobby.

Pleasant and efficient staff. Clean and neat units. No shower curtain when we arrived but immediately sorted. Breakfast was very chaotic and neither drinks nor food was replenished timeously.

Great hotel with very professional staff. There is a lounge with reusable water bottles, coffee and tea that you can access at any time - even if you are early for your check-in and waiting for your room. They also offered a room to change and shower when we were early for our check-in time.

The staff was amazing from check-in through departure, consistently very helpful, upbeat, and professional. The common areas are very lovely, with the lounge being an especially beautiful and inviting amenity. The location couldn't be better, just a few steps from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery and the Charring Cross Tube Station and a few blocks from the Thames, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Saint James Park, Covent Gardens, and the Theatre District. There are wonderful restaurants every few steps. Stay here. You will be glad that you did.
