Wouldn’t stay again…

Tried to call a few days before arriving after reading a review about glass, see through walls to the bathroom meaning you could see another person using the shower or even the toilet. This was proven very difficult, was cut off 4 times whilst the person ‘went to find out’, spoke to customer relations in the end who also couldn’t get through to get an answer either. On check in, the process was very slow and not very friendly. Our room was relatively small, despite a free upgrade apparently, but this is quite normal for a London Hotel. The room had a great view of Leicester Square and was in a fab location. Our understanding was the breakfast was £30 per person so we didn’t eat that here when there are so many food outlets surrounding you from McDonald’s, Wetherspoons and many other choices depending on what you fancy. The lunch/dinner menu was very limited so again we decided to eat out. My husband was running in the London Marathon, I met him back at the hotel when he finished and whilst I was waiting and on the phone housekeeping came to see if I wanted the room serviced, I said I didn’t and they then lectured me that I should’ve left the do not disturb sign on the door outside - why? One side stated do not disturb having 40 winks and the other stated please service the room - one would assume rightly or wrongly that no sign means just ignore being that I wasn’t sleeping or needing the room services. Cold, unfriendly check out.

Amazing hotel in a central location.

Check in was flexible, our room was ready at 12.30pm and reception said we could check in early and gave a complimentary upgrade to a square view premium room. The room was great and the bedding good quality. Roof terrace adds a lovely touch with its view of the city. Location was perfect for what we wanted to do.

Oversold Rooms!

I went to check in after booking over a week prior and being paid in full to be told there was no rooms left. I was rold there was a room for me in their sister Hotel around the corner. Which was not a IHG Hotel! I paid best part of £200. The hotel i was sent to i usually around 20% cheaper for the same stays but not refund offered. The Hotel i was sent to? victory house was shocking. The quality was poor and staff not nice. The entire hotel just felt seedy. Trip was completely ruined.

A very nice stay

The hotel was great. Very clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. We were able to leave our bags before and after checkout free of charge. Complimentary WiFi was very fast. Tea and coffee was good and everything looks neat and new, working perfectly. We had a very spacious room on the first floor. The view from the huge long window was brilliant for people watching in Leicester Square. However like most places in London it can get noisy into the night. It didn’t bother us too much but if you can get a higher floor it’s probably quieter.

Great hotel and location but breakfast not great.

The hotel was lovely and the view from the top was amazing. Really enjoyed the stay. However, the breakfast was disappointing - cold plates and very little bread for toast - with a very slower toaster! The breakfast wasn’t worth what we paid. We would definitely recommend the hotel and its location for the theatres. We come again.
