The Resident Covent Garden was a wonderful hotel to use as a base of operations for sightseeing in London. Many things - Covent Garden, Westminster, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, the City - are all easily walkable from here and there are many MANY eateries, coffee shops, shops and pubs close by as well. In our many stays in London this was the most convenient of all the hotels we stayed in. The staff was amazing, too, and, even though our room looked out on The Strand, it was quiet and very comfortable.
