The staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is ok. Eggs get cold quickly despite the heat lamps but I ordered soft boiled eggs for both days and they were perfect. …

Just had a night here whilst meets friends for drinks, managed to get a junior suite cheaper than a standard double. As suites go it’s definitely more on the junior side!! But have to say the location is great, bed was fine A/C worked, water pressure was ok and the staff attentive. I did hear other guests complaining that their room hadn’t been cleaned but staying one night I’m not sure if I’d have had the same problem. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on it.

Supremely located within a stone's throw of Leicester Sq/Piccadilly. Unfortunately prices are a bit on the high side and rooms could use some refurbishing.Service staff were mostly pleasant, overall rather enjoyed my month long stay here.

Mixed thoughts about the hotel. The only good thing about it is the location. Best location, cross the street of China Town, and near Piccadilly square.The rooms are old, carpets stinks, not well maintained. Rooms so small that in the hall at entrance to the room you have to go to the side because the size between the dresser and the wall is so narrow.Every day at 19 PM we had to ask for room cleaning as they did not do it. I had to ask 4 times to bring hand soap....including reception and house keeping. After 4 times they replaced the shampoo in the bath...Recommend to skip
