Their food was delicious, the bed so comfortable, and my stay was fantastic! It was the perfect location as it was close to all the major sites within walking distance and it was calm, quiet, and tranquil. I would highly recommend! ##### Esther Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Averil 8 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff were so helpful and accommodating. We were supposed to stay for 2 nights but ended up extending our stay for another 2 nights! The rooms were lovely and warm during the cold weather, cleaned every day and mini bar restocked. The continental breakfast was amazing and with endless cups of coffee. Very close to Covent Garden and West End, perfect location and felt safe walking about at night as lovely area. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Averil Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a fabulous stay by every metric. The room was delightful and the bed and linens so perfect for sleep after a long day out walking and the breakfast was delicious with many options. One of the best features of the hotel were its numerous public spaces including a garden - and one could sit and read while having a coffee or tea or cocktail. Truly a gem of a place - looking forward to returning soon. ##### Julia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Claire 14 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and the reception areas are well decorated and look lovely. We only arrived late so didn't see the other rooms such as the library or bar. It was a good price and value for money. Room on the small side and shower small and on 4th floor. no issue for us, but could be a problem for access issues. Beautifully decorated and nice touches of complimentary water and soft drinks in the room. Helpful staff. ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff was very attentive and the hotel is perfect!

It was excellent. The staff could not have been friendlier and more helpful, particularly Felix and the ladies in the breakfast room. The bar and garden are beautiful and the room was spacious, spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay again. ##### Belinda Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is in the perfect location to see all of London within a short walk or bus/underground ride.
