Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location. It's kind of between Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. And almost everything else is within a 20 mins walk or a short underground tube ride. The hotel rooms are a bit dated, and the windows don't open. Our room didn't even have a luggage rack. Also, no toiletries aside from soap. The front desk clerks were friendly, but at times very disorganized and slow. Our room came with breakfast, and it was adequate. But honestly, there are plenty of breakfast places and bakeries nearby. Overall, an okay stay, just nothing fancy.

The property is in in good condition and in an excellent location about 100m from Leister Sq. The room is clean and the staff friendly. However, the rooms are very continental with weird layout to the bathrooms and toilets that seem to gather rather than flush the contents. Room cleaning is very late in the afternoon. While the price is acceptable for the hotel I doubt we will stay again.

The property was in the perfect location and the facilities were of good standard however staff allowed a party to occur in the room next-door to ours until 3am after multiple noise complaints they did not address the issue which was extremely disheartening and left a poor view on a lovely hotel
