A nice hotel in a very good location
Pros:

We had stayed here before when it was a grand hotel. The lobby is very small, but in saying that the rooms are very nice. We were offered the chance to upgrade to a junior suite for a very reasonable price and we did that. Nice sized room with sitting area on the top floor. Breakfast was pretty good with hot and cold options. The location is the bonus here, it is on the direct Piccadilly tube line to Heathrow and is between the Piccadilly and Leicester Square stations. Tons of eateries of all prices around and of course the Half Price ticket booth for shows. So many theaters near by. Given a late check out, all in all, a good hotel.

Cons:

Most of the staff spoke really good English, but a couple did not and it was impossible to understand what they were saying and impossible to make them understand what we wanted. Reception staff excellent though.

We love this hotel for how central it is to the West End Theatres, Trafalgar Square, and Covent Garden.
Pros:

I love the location. It is convenient to walk to theaters, Buckingham Palace, and shopping in Covent Garden. It feels safe and secure.

Cons:

The rooms are smaller than they used to be in the past. I’ve been coming there since 2008 and rooms have been smaller and smaller. The price for breakfast went from £15 to £21.

Une belle découverte
Pros:

L’emplacement est exceptionnel! La vue de notre chambre magnifique, donnait sur le london trocadero, à quelques minutes de tout. Le personnel est génial et les chambres incroyables. De grandes baies vitrées donnant sur des bâtiments aux façades magnifiques, beaucoup d’espace. Sincèrement je pense que ce sera mon nouvel hôtel favori, j’ai séjourné plutôt vers la gare victoria, quartier vers Buckingham, mais en réalité je pense que cet emplacement est de loin le meilleur. Et malgré qu’on etait à quelques minutes à pied de chinatown, piccadily Circus, Oxford circus, soho et tous les quartiers les plus animés de Londres, aucun bruit dans l’hôtel ni de la rue. Je retournerai là bas sans aucune hésitation

Cons:

Rien tout était parfait
