"The perfect location for city-lovers who want to be in the heart of the action! Beautiful lobby and comfortable, well-appointed rooms, larger than you might expect in an affordable location in London. Our room on a high floor was quiet, but outside you are right in Trafalgar Square, steps from Charing Cross station and the National Gallery art museum. Air conditioning was lovely during a hot spell; bathroom and shower were modern and clean. For history lovers, the 18th century is well preserved on nearby Craven Street, including the only extant home of Benjamin Franklin. It's a short walk to the Parliament buildings and many other key sites. No breakfast included but many choices just steps from the hotel. Be prepared for crowds and traffic outside and take any typical precautions to be streetwise against someone who might want to pick your pocket. Generally very safe, just bustling with tourists, cabs, bikes and scooters."
