    excellent staff, very comfortable, safe, central position, i will definitely stay again and recommend highly

    every time I left my room, my keycard didn't work on my return .. so I had to keep getting it rekeyed at reception.

    "Very satisfactory" (107411667)

    Charming, helpful staff. Upgraded to a Junior Suite, which was well worth the money - lovely room, very well decorated, quiet and comfortable.

    Slightly noisy outside (road works) but the central location outweighed that.

    Tissue box in bathroon only had one tissue.However, I am sure that this would have been rectified if we had asked.

    Working order of equipment. As in a lot of hotels the battery holder for remote had the back missing and the batteries kept falling out. Can you put some tape on this and then once a year when the batteries need renewing the tape can be renewed. Overall value for money The breakfast and drinks in the 1st floor area seemed very expensive, and our group did not have breakfast or drinks. For you this was a loss of revenue. Had the prices been less exorbitant we would have used these facilities.

    "but with that said the hotel was very nice indeed and it was the only rushing about that spoilet the night due to trying to find the place." (107226528)

    Nice Clean and friendly,good location for local tourist spots in london.

    No on site parking, and parking is very expensive at off site location. And it would help if we was told when booking the hotel that it was above the train station, as it was hard to find in rush time traffic, when u r looking for a hotel and not a train station, if we was advised that the hotel was above the station i would have not drove past it three times and wasted an 1hour and half driving around and around.

    The toilet was not very clean on arrival which wasnt very pleasant.

    Clean, tidy room, comfortable bed. Excellent TV facilities.

    Not enough tea and coffe in room. Nothing much in mini-bar (coke, water and fruit juice). Booking in staff difficult to understand at times.

    "Having stayed here before, the only complaint I had in the past was the poor internet service. I'm happy to say that they have fixed this, and the new wireless service worked fine. My wife is in a wheelchair and, on our second day, the front wheel broke, making it impossible to use. The concierge staff was most helpful in locating a rental chair & expediting its delivery to us the same day, making it possible for us to continue to enjoy our stay in London. I would definitely stay here again." (99879957)

    Great location, clean rooms, extremely helpful staff and concierge service.

    The beds are a little firm for my taste, but that is normal in Europe & the UK.

    You are central to everything, you don't need the tube because your only 5-10 mins walk from anywhere you want to go. Its very clean, tidy. Its just perfect for a London hotel.

  • 8/10 Andrew ( Volwassen paar)

    "Reception queue was overlong staff whilst competent did not have enough system assistance to speed the process. The person trying to head off people in the reception queue to go to express check out was never going to succeed as he was not offering any advantage. Housekeeping had failed to put any flannels in the bathroom but this was quickly rectified otherwise staff appeared to be excellent. Breakfast was of exceptional quality. A thoroughly enjoyable stay even the two business executives arguing about their tax returns in a slightly inebriated manner at 1:00 a.m. were amusing." (99815635)

You are right in the middle of everything and can easily walk to, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Buckingham Palace and St James park and the London Eye. The central location will mean some noise, but you cannot complain about it for such convenience. We were on the 5th floor and the noise really wasn't a problem. Would highly recommend and we plan on staying there again ourselves." (99165017)

    "Will definitely stay again. Much quieter than expected. Maybe next time fire alarm won't go off. Never did find out where the restaurant was, couldn't see any directions for it anywhere." (99119161)

    Always first consideration is comfort of bed, bad beds mean we won't ever consider returning. Bathroom reasonably clean

    fire alarm went off at 8.30am on the only chance we had for a lie in for 3 weeks, which followed late night. Was a false alarm apparently, according to another guest. So didn't get the rest we had hoped for.

    "Not being a regular visitor to the area we were amazed to find everything so close to hand, within walking distance, or a short taxi / tube ride away. The room was on offer and we considered this to be good value, it was my wife's 50th birthday treat, so we took in a show and visited as much as possible in the time we were there. I did do some research and chose the hotel based on a post code search of the area within reach of the Aldwytch Theatre. On our return to Devon, we could not believe how good a weekend we had, (plus England beat France at Rugby - but Plymouth Argyle lost to Watford in the FA cup - suppose you can not have too much of a good thing though)!! We are proposing to visit again for New Years Eve 2007 / 2008 with family if all goes well." (99729656)

    Central to all activities, smiling faces, helpful staff, room facitlities and the view onto the London eye form the bedroom window.

    There was nothing wrong with the room (except forthe bar which was empty due computer maintenance) only an observation not a complaint!!

    "I think breakfast should have been included in the price. I didn't eat in the hotel at all because of the extra price. Otherwise the stay was very pleasant and the staff friendly and helpful. Would go here again as it's so nice and central especially for theatres." (99856211)

    Although expensive the room was lovely. All the equipment you would need and nice and roomy. Nice bathroom too.

    Only the small window.

    Unparalleled consierge service. Successful effort to make room available earlier; research and follow up call on tour info. Great suggestion on lunch places. Very efficient front desk

    For the price and the four stars the room was small even by european standards and there was no chest of drawers, only a small area above the refridge for hangers. We didn't unpack. We had to use the bed to sort our evening wear and PJs etc. Unacceptable

    "booked this hotel as it was so close to Charing Cross station, so it was convenient for leaving luggage for return home next day. Was a nicer alternative to catching the last train home after a theatre trip! and obviously very easy to find! Staff were very helpful. Only thing that was a bit trobulesome was the somewhat complicated route to the set of rooms in the adjoining building - but after one trip we found our way and worked out which floor to get the lift back to. But the staff were obviously used to guests getting lost outside the dining room and escorted us to the lift." (99008501)

    Large bathroom with plenty of space. Bedroom was adequate size as well. 24 hour room service with the sort of food you often fancy when away from home - beans on toast etc -

    some of equipment was little tired and not working properly - plug in bidet,hair dryer in bathroom, drawer containing tea making facilities did not go back in properly - but the points were rapidly takne on board by the reception staff when mentioned.

There were a number of out of the ordinary requests made and as expected they were handled in an understanding and efficient can do manner. It would be childish to try and find any faults."

    "This is a lovely hotel centrally situated at charing Cross station, so it was ideal for getting around the city. Well kept hotel with very nice and considerate staff. The double deluxe room was very nice with an excellent ensuite bathroom with powerfull showers.The room also had aircon, which would be ideal in summer but the same unit controlled the heat as well as cold air and did'nt generate much heat for my November stay. But the reception staff responded quickly to my small complaint and offered to change my room without hesitation.I would certainly stay here again, the rate of " (99333080)

    Good quality furnishings and linnen. Excellent shower and bathroom.

    Only one small complaint was that my stay was in November and the room heater did not generate much heat.I was offered a new room by the efficient staff but declined as it was already the evening of the frist night of a 2 night stay, so it was'nt really worth the trouble to move.
