The only issue was the safety catch on the door was sharp and ripped a coat. We told reception and they just said to be careful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The bed wasn’t very comfortable so had poor sleep, we couldn’t open the windows at all, the walls were quite thin so we could hear most things going on. Overall it didn’t feel like a 4* hotel and it didn’t feel worth the money I paid to stay there. Wouldn’t stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean, the front desk staff were very helpful and friendly, and there was a benefit for skipping room cleanings (for the environment) that could be applied at the restaurant in the lobby. The elevators were quick, and the noise level from the street outside wasn't too loud- it is right in SoHo, so there is a lot of activity all around the hotel, but I had no trouble sleeping or relaxing once in my room. I would definitely stay here again in a future London visit, especially if I was looking to see theatre shows or try the SoHo restaurants and shops again.

If you’re a total clean freak and can’t stay anywhere that’s not 100% spotless, this might not be the place for you. But if you want the best location in the city and an incredibly friendly and helpful staff, this hotel is perfect. The people working here make the experience truly great — and the spot couldn’t be better.
