Liked: Cleanliness
I checked in on January 9,2026.The room was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. I arrived at the hotel at 1045 pm to find that the door to the hotel was locked. I could not find any bell or intercom. I knocked for a long time on the door but no answer. Attempted to call the hotel without success. I walked further down the street to a bar that let me in and directed me to the front desk. I was told by the receptionist that there is a doorbell but it’s hidden under the Christmas decorations. The hotel website lists room service as an amenity , however I was unable to order as it ended at 1030 pm. The dining area for breakfast was warm , clean and inviting. Don’t bother with the breakfast. My eggs were overcooked, ham was too hard to eat and my toast was cold.

This hotel is ideal for train transit in and out of London. It sits directly over the subway but you hear none of the noise. You can catch a train in 5 minutes. Couldn’t be more convenient

Great room (upgraded), peaceful for the central location it enjoys. Would have preferred a security pass for the lift, we did find a non-resident in the pantry (which had bonus snacks and drinks) on our way home from the theatre district. Easy tube links etc, nice fittings, friendly staff. Thank you!
