Great location- great hotel
My boyfriend and I stayed for three nights. Very comfortable bed and nice staff! Close to the attractions and very close to public transportation. The Sightseeing bus stops like right in front of the hotel and tickets can be bought at the hotel. We ordered room service and the food was really good. We would book this hotel again!

OK
The room was not very spacious, only one chair in the room. We had phoned a few days before to ensure we would have a kingsize room - but found twin beds pushed together, made up separately, on our arrival at our room. We called down to reception and they said someone would come to sort - but by the time they arrived, we had unpacked and therefore decided not to have any upheaval and make do with the situation. The beds were comfortable though. Location not ideal for what we wanted either

Satisfactory
Rooms very small and the sink was leaking onto the floor. Bathroom wasn't big enough to fit one male. However, it was clean and very well located for getting around London.

Pleasant
this hotel was very plush. We paid extra to get the "Level" service -- otherwise our room would have been very tiny. The bed was huge, and there were plugs for American appliances - a definite plus. The British breakfast and snacks, wine and beer were great - but again we paid extra. The shower was strange because you really had to climb to get into it. Overall though, a great, if somewhat expensive experience.

Win the lotto to afford the food
It was a lovely hotel, but the room was a bit small. Had booked two single beds but when i got there they were pushed together and made up like a double bed and no other rooms available so couldnt change. Even though i had rang a month beforehand to confirm it was twin beds. Food was extremely overpriced, £23 for a full breakfast is ridiculous, we only ate in the hotel once, better off eating elsewhere. Staff were great but think my stay there will be a once off event

Brilliant !!!
The location is perfect. One tube station is just steps away (Great Portland Street) and another (Regents Park) is just is about a city block further. The hotel itself offers everything you could possibly need or want. Our room (Superior Room) was better than we expected. It would compare to the nicer rooms at Harrah's in Las Vegas for those who are familiar with those. On London standards it was VERY large. They provide free internet service in the common areas of the lobby. Convenience stores for soda and such were also just steps away. Original Bus Tour (which is a must-do) stops right outside on Albany Street.

When in England....
This is an average hotel, not deserving of a 4star rating. Our biggest complaint is that all the receptionists were Spanish - somehow, in England in a 4star hotel I expected them to have a better grasp of English than they did. When we asked them to deliver a newspaper to our room the next morning they began to do a check-out for us. The room was very small not much walking room around the ends of the bed and the shower over the bath was hard to get into. However, location was good and the Concierges were excellent.

An excellent, inviting and and more spacious than most London based hotels
A welcoming, 'latin' reception; relaxed but professional service. Large rooms. Strategically located near Oxford St. and shopping areas. Very pleasant stay.

Quality hotel
Great hotel. Quite large but surprisingly quiet. Excellent location by Regents Park. Can't fault it. Taxi or tube to all locations are close by. 15 minute walk to Oxford Street
