The hotel is in a superb location, close to various attractions like Oxford Street, Charing Cross Train Station, and Soho, which made up for the snug room size. The rooms are clean, functional, and surprisingly spacious compared to other London alternatives, featuring a cozy small double bed. The overall experience was good, with minor room size considerations.

The service was excellent overall, with a few minor hiccups like the check-in time due to trainee staff and rushing to replenish the buffet.
Location

The hotel's location is superb, centrally situated in Bloomsbury, one of my favorite areas in London, offering easy access to Tube stations, attractions like the British Museum and Soho, and within walking distance to King's Cross Station and the Aldwych for theater breaks. It's a great central spot in a quiet neighborhood.

The dining experience had some issues like delays in getting cups and plates and replenishing the buffet, but offered a decent selection between buffet and kitchen-ordered dishes. Breakfast was acceptable, but not outstanding.

The hotel is conveniently located between 2 tube stops and a short walk to Covent Garden, making it great for sightseeing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, albeit on the small side with limited amenities. The service was efficient but lacked a consistently friendly approach. The dining options were hit or miss, with some good value choices but overall in need of improvement. The location is a strong point while some areas like maintenance and dining could be enhanced for a better experience.

The hotel is well located in central London, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, although a bit small with no view, were surprisingly quiet despite facing the street. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were some issues with breakfast service. The dining options were varied, but some items were missing due to limited staff. The location is great for public transport and dining choices.

The hotel's location was perfect for my hospital appointments, but I won't use this hotel again. The rooms were tiny, filthy, and not available upon arrival. The service was efficient and friendly overall, but a bit slow at times. The dining experience had good options but was hit or miss with quality. Convenient location near tube stations, but cleanliness and availability of rooms were big issues.

The hotel is in a convenient location, very close to the tube and within easy reach of attractions like Covent Garden and Oxford Street. The rooms are clean but quite small with limited space and storage layout, making it a bit cramped. The service from the friendly and accommodating staff was excellent, adding a welcoming touch to the stay. The dining options were good, offering a range of choices, but there seemed to be some limitations. The overall value for the price paid was fair, though some improvements could enhance the experience.
