    Information on your website indicated that internet was free in our room but this was not the case. We were charged for this. Also to make matters worse the high speed internet did not work in our room. which is one of the reasons we chose this hotel. The

    Great Location, Nice Hotel #23 bus stops in front of the hotel about every 10 minutes and will take you down Oxford Street and Notting Hill/ Portobello Road Market. Both excellent places to shop and see sites! Inexpensive (3.50lb for an all day ride pass) and an easy trip. If you've never been to London, take the Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours. They're long, but you see everything. The Original Bus Tour includes a complimentary cruise on the Thames.

    Charing Cross the ideal place to stay My wife and I really enjoy staying at this hotel. It is so conviently located and the hotel staff is really good. London is expensive, so relatively speaking this hotel is a good "value". The breakfast that we had there was quite good as well.

    I stayed at this hotel a year ago and found the location perfect and the price very affordable. It is located right about a subway stop. My room was huge for a hotel room in Europe and the bed and furnature was very comfortable. The staff was pleasant and helpful. I would certainly stay at this hotel on my next visit to London

    Not a 4 star hotel - unimpressed I really hoped that this would be a good 4 star hotel in a great central area of London. The Lobby and Restaurant/Bar were not that bad...but the room was very old and didn't feel clean. I would say this is a 2 to 2.5 star hotel. Sorry.

    Great central London hotel I was allowed to check into the hotel early and the check in was fast, effective and pleasant. The room was compact, but was clean and quiet. The location of the hotel is excellent for Covent Garden, Regent Street and Bond Street shopping. I would definitely return to this hotel as my first choice when revisiting London.
