10/10 Excellent
"Perfect for an early morning flight or when you’re jet lagged after arriving back in London after a trip away. No fussing with airport shuttles, just walk straight through the covered walkway linking you to the terminal. Really comfortable room, bed was perfect and we had a deal with breakfast included which was top notch"

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

10/10 Excellent
"Check in was very easy, there were several staff in the lobby to assist with check in on the computer. There were several computers that were convenient for others to check in simultaneously. The room was small but very nice, it had everything needed it for my stay. My room included an air conditioner and a small refrigerator; however, a friend that accompanied me had another room that did not have an air conditioner or a small fridge, so if you want an air conditioner and fridge, you may need to request it. The hotel is in a great location, near Piccadilly Circle and Chinatown. It's in walking distance of the train station, if you are a walker. There are plenty of theaters and restaurants in walking distance an Uber. There is also a grocery store about a block away. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel with delicious food and drinks. Be on and off bus is very close to the hotel. I would definitely stay there again."
