The bed was the highest and hardest mattress we have ever had in all our years travelling it was like lying on a hard floor. The quilt was hard and so were the pillows we will never stay here again So very disappointing for the price we paid for this hotel.

BEWARE. We knew we could not have access to our room before the check in time of 2pm, which was fine. But when we arrived early and asked them to hold our bags, we were told there was a '£10 PER BAG' charge for them to hold our luggage.

Booked our stay through Expedia and somehow Expedia did not send the payment to the hotel before we arrived. Took a few hours for the hotel to get it straight. The location in Leicester Square is great. the room was very comfortable. The rooftop restaurant/bar has excellent views and tasty food. Surprisingly quite room to be in a busy square.

Staff at front desk not helpful with my early arrival, refused to get me in even a moment before check in time after an over night flight, with little conversation. Housekeeping knocked almost every morning of my 7 night stay at 8:30-9 in the morning. Restaurant staff friendly but a bit slow. Room was nice but quite small even in the deluxe room. Location is the saving grace, and the view from the roof. Oh and front desk told me multiple times breakfast was included but restaurant charged me each morning.

Although a separate business, the manager (I think) of the rooftop bar was delightful and we watched The Blimp flying over London from there. We are regulars and we would normally give the hotel 4 or 5 stars. Only once were we disappointed (May 2026) and they appear to have done enough to regain our trust so we will come back soon - it makes a great base for our frequent stays in London. Give it a try for yourself. We have had wonderful times here on the 7th floor on NYE but sadly in last year and next, these rooms are sold out before they even appear.

Rooms very small, to get to the beds you have to contend with the tv on one side ( which didn’t work) and the curtains on the other, were not big in any way, the room was just extremely small, only a queen bed, which in my opinion isn’t big enough for 2 adults. Bathroom was nice, except the tap was to close to the sink which meant you couldn’t fill the kettle, did that one small glass at a time.

Room felt dirty and grimey. Not as nice as photos. Rooftop bar was closed for a private event so we were not able to use for a drink. For the amount we paid it was not worth it. We were able to go to the rooftop for breakfast which was good. Staff not super helpful when we asked questions.
