Get ready for zero privacy. The wall to the bathroom is etched glass backlit so you can see anyone using the toilet. It's so strange. The shower has a half glass door wall so the whole bathroom gets soaked when you shower. Plus, there is no vent in the WC. There are no sheets on the bed, it's just the comforter. There were stains on the cover, on the walls, and on the carpet. The curtains do not fit the windows, so be ready to be up at dawn. The room is small and strangely arranged so it was hard to move around. The location was great, but for the price it was absolutely not worth it. We won't be back.

Oversold Rooms!

I went to check in after booking over a week prior and being paid in full to be told there was no rooms left. I was rold there was a room for me in their sister Hotel around the corner. Which was not a IHG Hotel! I paid best part of £200. The hotel i was sent to i usually around 20% cheaper for the same stays but not refund offered. The Hotel i was sent to? victory house was shocking. The quality was poor and staff not nice. The entire hotel just felt seedy. Trip was completely ruined.

A very nice stay

The hotel was great. Very clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. We were able to leave our bags before and after checkout free of charge. Complimentary WiFi was very fast. Tea and coffee was good and everything looks neat and new, working perfectly. We had a very spacious room on the first floor. The view from the huge long window was brilliant for people watching in Leicester Square. However like most places in London it can get noisy into the night. It didn’t bother us too much but if you can get a higher floor it’s probably quieter.

Great hotel and location but breakfast not great.

The hotel was lovely and the view from the top was amazing. Really enjoyed the stay. However, the breakfast was disappointing - cold plates and very little bread for toast - with a very slower toaster! The breakfast wasn’t worth what we paid. We would definitely recommend the hotel and its location for the theatres. We come again.

Wonderful art deco hotel in the middle of everything. Lovely staff. Small rooms but it’s central London… the rooftop bar was going to be incredible for New Years fireworks but alas, it was booked out to a private party. Wish I’d known before I spent $600 on the room. We made our way down to the Thames amongst 800,000 people.
