The staff are great!

The staff make this hotel, very efficient and personable which you don’t get in many hotels. The rooms don’t have air con so can be very hot (although fans are provided) Rooms on the main road can be very noisy if you have the window open (needed if hot). Generally though a very nice stay and nice bar/ restaurant area.

Room was very clean and quiet and we enjoyed the garden view room. Staff was friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. The hotel has an excellent location, close to lots of dining options and two tube stations. Covent Gardens is very walkable as well.
