Top position for access to China
Top position for access to China Town,Capitol Theatre & Hyde Park. Room comfortable.Bathroom had bath & shower,terrific for people who enjoy a bath.Being in Nth Tower on 20th floor meant view was courtyard buildings opposite. Great range of restaurants in walking distance with great Asian & Japanese choices. I'd stay again if rate was right.

Very comfortable hotel & rooms,
Very comfortable hotel & rooms, always love the 'Dream Beds'. When I arrived with Hotelclub voucher in hand - for some reason they did not have the room ready, or record of the booking, so the room was upgraded. Considering the central location, will always consider staying here.

The hotel is centrally located
The hotel is centrally located and within easy reach of most city attractions. I stayed for three nights in an Executive King Room. The room included free internet. The internet was quick and reliable although the room had to be charged for the cost and then taken when checking out.The room was clean and tidy although it felt a little small.The bathroom had a separate bath and shower which made for a nice change.I stayed on the 21st floor but only had a view of the building opposite from the window.This didnt really matter as I spent very little time in the room during the day and evening.I would stay there again.
