Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts amazing views and a 65-inch TV in the rooms. The service is impeccable with delightful housekeeping and a welcoming drink. Its location is central in London, within walking distance of numerous attractions. Dining offers a stunning view over London, but some menu items like cold fried eggs and processed ham were disappointing. The facilities are top-notch, enhancing the overall stay.
The hotel offers stunning views and excellent tea making facilities in the rooms, but the dining experience was not impressive with processed ham and cold fried eggs. The service was attentive, and the location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the tourist area. However, the expensive price may not match the value for money.
The hotel is perfectly situated in Leicester Square, offering a cozy stay with a lovely bathroom and good facilities. The room also includes a balcony, ideal for enjoying some fresh air.
The hotel is in a prime location close to Chinatown, making it convenient for exploring the vibrant area and enjoying the local cuisine. The rooms come with a comfy bed and good tea making facilities, offering a cozy retreat after a day of sightseeing. While the dining provides a wonderful view of central London, the processed ham may not suit all tastes. The hotel also features fabulous views over the London skyline, enhancing the overall experience.
