This was a great place to stay. Breakfast was good, location was great, and rooms were big.
It was a little pricey. I did not like that they wouldn't let my family of 5 stay in one room. The room was big enough for our family to stay together.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room had everything i needed
Bathroom silion needed a clean / replacing. Could hear noise outside and windows didn't seem very sound proof. Only pizza available for food when i arrived.

Fantastic location! So close to everything. Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was great. Rooms were basic but had everything you need for a city break! They were clean and beds were very comfortable. Shower was great!
Liked everything.

Disappointing

We liked the room we had with an interesting view of roof tops. The location was excellent for us. The staff were very friendly an helpful. We asked if we could have a twin bedded room rather than a double room as my partner sleeps rather badly and the manager took considerable trouble to make that possible for which we were very grateful.
The breakfast room was rather 'spartan' looking and plain. There was quite a good choice of food but it was a bit tepid and the bacon was sometimes a bit overcooked

I like because was at the center off the city
The value off the money not so ok because the hotel must improve bathroom and the furniture and to have a mini bar too

Location
Got there to be told that booking didn’t tell them of our arrival (although they knew my name). Told me room wasn’t available I went back later, as requested. We were then given an inferior room to the one we booked and paid for. No apology, no refund, just, here’s your keys! Room was not even cleaned properly Not good!

Excellent service by Doloresz/ Andres and Liz. Truly appreciated the personal touch given that this was a very stressful work trip. Doloresz kept me in good supply of shortbread biscuits and even a banana when I needed to stay awake to work until 4 am.
I could not figure out how to heat the room and I was a bit cold
The room was a bit pricey

Location and space in the junior suite rooms
No Mini-bar as advertised. This might seem a small problem to some, but a mini-bar to others means a fridge for storing life-needing daily injections.
There is a great variation of service and general hospitality depending on which staff you interact with. As previous reviews have said, the day desk staff are mostly abrupt, unhelpful and ‘police’ guests rather than assist them.
But the breakfast staff are delightful, particularly Cyril and Madina, both at Trafalgar sq and Piccadilly properties. In the evening, Kim offers the widest grins and chats with food and drinks and has for the many times we’ve stayed there.
We’ll be back because of the location and the mid-range nature of this chain, but we’ll be prepared to avoid requesting anything or any information from the day staff where possible.

The hotel is very close to both Trafalgar and Leicester Square. Consequently, top locations like the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery are just a short work. Westminster Abbey can be reached by foot within 10 to 15 minutes. At least three different underground stations are close by. If you like shopping: major shopping areas are in walking distance too.
Our room was nice and quiet although being in a busy area. The bathroom was of sufficient space and the air condition very quiet. The breakfast buffet was quite nice (for a British hotel) and we enjoyed the very good service of Medina and her team while having breakfast.
Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet no longer provides for hash browns (as was the case when being 18 month earlier in this hotel). Except for this minor detail, we had no matter to complain about.
Thank you for your information!
