Great location
Great reception team but they had issues with the security doors all weekend.
Room was ok but aircon made it to hot or cold.
Think they only have one cleaner as no one had made up our room by 4pm.
Breakfast is very limited but fresh.

Great place to stay
Lovely room great bed, comfortable and spacious room has desk and lounge chair. Nespresso espresso machine was well used. Rained shower was delicious. Lively view of Swiss Court and holiday revelers, no noise. Best blackout curtains ever! Helpful and friendly staff worked with me to quickly salvage lodging at last minute. Every staff member I interacted with was pleasant and engaging.

The location of this hotel is simply excellent. It is between Piccadilly Circus tube station and Leicester Square tube station. Shopping and dining options are all within walking distance.
The hotel room is comfortable and staff are courteous. The bathroom is clean and spacious. I would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel only minutes from theatres
I was impressed by the standard of the bed linen, towels and can do attitude of the staff- right from the chef to the house keeper. The breakfast was so fresh and appealing- good selection of hot and cold food and little touches like fresh parsley on the scrambled eggs was much appreciated
