"Great location to travel to/from LHR on the Piccadilly Line. Easy to walk to SoHo, and China Town. Room was nice. The shower overflows though. You can store your luggage for a fee if you get in before check in time. Had to look around to find the lobby entrance, but it’s next to the Five Guys. There are no windows in the rooms. The AC was ok, room felt decent but not cold."
