Great location, poor hotel
Admittedly I booked a standard room, but it was very jaded and outdated. The air conditioning barely worked meaning the room was extremely cold. There was only a very light and flimsy duvet so I endured a poor night’s sleep. On the plus side the staff were generally good and the breakfast was very good too. It was noticeable on checkout that I wasn’t asked if I had a good experience (normally the first question asked) so I am tempted to think that maybe my experience is not uncommon there.

Solid 4 star hotel
Clean and comfortable but no door service which is a shame as they have a heavy door which is awkward to manage with a suitcase. The pump for the showergel is also annoying to use.

You do pay a lot for the location but it is perfect for the West End. Two minutes walk to the nearest tube station. The room itself was a decent size, amazing shower and good facilities. The staff were friendly and efficient. Many, many restaurant on the doorstep.

Short break in london
I never really do reviews but this wasn’t a very good experience at all We always stay in the raddison blu Leicester Square when visiting London I booked a slightly upgraded room and requested a view of Leicester Square which I know is just a request. Upon check in I was told that there had been a flood and that there wasn’t a room available for us We were being moved to a hotel in Covent Garden . If I’d have wanted to stay in Covent garden then I would have booked a hotel in Covent Garden I don’t believe that there was any such flood as the gentleman checking us in told me that the hotel was over booked. We like to stay in Leicester Square as it’s not far from all the activities we had planned We had booked sheesh and j sheeky both a short walk away We like to end our evenings in the hippodrome casino again a short walk We shop in bond street and fortnum and mason , it’s not far to carry our shopping back , this would be impossible staying at Covent Garden which has the worst tube station in the whole of London When I explained this to the receptionist he told me he had one room but that it was a twin room We reluctantly accepted it It was probably the worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in I reminded me of a dungeon and the bed was rock hard Horrible room We were offered 2 free drinks in the hotel bar I really didn’t feel like a valued returning guest at all
