Pros:

The location is in the center of china town, so no cars to the hotel door, busy area, and always noisy, but inside the room was quiet, comfortable. Room that was booked was big.

Cons:

One elevator only, which was not a big deal as the hotel is small. Would like more privacy for the toilet.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of London
Pros:

Leicester House Hotel is a lovely small hotel in an excellent location, right by Chinatown, and just a few steps away from the M&M’s and LEGO stores.

The staff were wonderful, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel has a beautiful interior design and a very pleasant atmosphere. It also has air conditioning, which worked perfectly during our stay.

Our booking included two rooms:

Suite 101: The suite was absolutely wonderful. It was extremely spacious, with a very large bathroom, and overall we were very happy with it.

Room 202: This was a fairly standard room with a reasonable and comfortable amount of space.

Cons:

Suite 101: Unfortunately, we noticed some small cockroaches in the bathroom during our stay.

Room 202: The main issue was the unusual bathroom layout. The bathroom facilities were divided into three separate areas. The toilet was in a small room near the entrance, while the washbasin and bathtub were located at the other end of the room, each in a separate area. We personally found this layout inconvenient.

Pros:

The front desk was friendly and super helpful. This place is also located right in Chinatown so it's within steps of the great shops and restaurants and within walking distance to Leicester Square station.

Cons:

The shower is quite tall and as someone on the shorter side, I had to be careful climbing in and out of it.
