We were not in the main part of the hotel, our room was over a walkway in another building. The room was very tired, dark and dingy, and really noisy at night as we were over a pub. We felt very let down and felt we should've been notified that our booking was not for the main hotel. We were... more

Went here with my husband and friends for our friend's birthday. On arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite, which we took, it was only a few pounds extra but 'wow'! Would definitely do that again. The hotel, and staff (apart from the Bar) were excellent. Bar: The Staff couldn't really be bothered to bring your drinks to... more

I stayed at this hotel for about a week when I was over in London for work. The hotel itself is nice and the decor is fine but the room I stayed in had a serious bed bug problem. At the time I didn't even know bed bugs existed so I really had no idea what on earth was happening... more

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in August 2008. Picked the hotel based on reviews from Tripadvisor. Our total cost (between two people) and including breakfast was 450 euro, this included a 15% discount from a promotion on the website we booked with (Hotels.com), which I found to be a very good rate for the quality and location. The... more

Definitely would recommend this for a trip to London. Just steps away from the London eye and Thames River. Be sure to walked over the bridge at night for a lovely view of the London Eye lit up as well as the Parliament building and Big Ben. Getting there: Take the Heathrow Express (16.50 pounds each) and then buy 2... more

We booked through Lastminute.com for the discount, and when we arrived at registration, they tried hard to sell us an upgrade. When we declined, they gave us the most distant room in the annex, with several turns down a long, empty hall. The first night we discovered that the toilet didn't flush. Instead of a plumber, they sent a man... more

This hotel has an amazing location. It is right above charing cross tube station (but you dont hear any noise from it) and just down the road is embankment tube station. It is very close to all the major attractions, it is 1min from Trafalgar square, 4mins from Leicester square and 7mins from Covent garden, these are all walking distamces.... more

This time I decided to spend a little more money than usually on a hotel in London. Location is important and I like to stay in the area close to Covent Garden. This hotel had very good reviews and I was not disappointed. I stayed here between the 27-30th. August in room 440. Location - It's close to the places... more
