Really, the only thing going for this hotel was location. It definitely is in need of updates. The access to the property was a challenge, as often the keys to gain access didn't properly activate the doors opening. The doors were also often closed, even though the signage gave specific times that you would need to utilize keys to gain entry. There were OVERPOWERING weird fragrant odors throughout the property. I don't know WHAT they were trying to hide, but it assaulted you the minute you left the lobby of the hotel.

Excellent location, moments from Leicester Square and Picadilly Circus. Room was reasonably big for central London, bed was super comfy. Staff were great, sending some Prosecco to the room when they heard it was our Anniversary. Despite being so close to buzzing nightlife, we didnt hear any noise in the room. Overall, couldnt fault it.

Room very nice. Very clean comfortable. View was not nice all vents etc . 5th floor. Breakfast buffet was nice basic but ok. There is Greggs and McDonald’s outside the hotel so won’t pay £50 extra for breakfast again. Reception small and needs updating . Does not look posh and looks tired

The staff was amazing! Also, the luggage storage was top tier and super helpful. They kept our bags before and after our stay so that we could enjoy London. This is also on a main tube line so you wont have to take many Ubers. It was a great location with Regent Street being less than 5 minutes walking distance and Bond Street was 10 minutes away. We also walked to Buckingham Palace which was 20 minutes away. The surrounding area was bustling but the hotel is actually quiet and super clean. We had three adults in our room with plenty of space. I plan to stay here for years to come.
