A nice centrally located hotel. Staff was very helpful, more so than any other hotel we have stayed. Dining at the hotel is pretty much nonexistent, but the food was good when we tried it. Bathroom was small and toilet area even smaller Location was excellent. We would stay here again.

This is a great budget friendly hotel in a wonderful location just around the corner from Trafalgar Square. The buffet breakfast was very good, the staff were all excellent, and the rooms were comfy. Though, our bathroom needed a fresh remodel. The hotel is older, but very clean. I would recommend this hotel.
