Horrendous - it was so noisy i couldnt sleep, and the walls are paper thin.
when i went there was loads of work being done to the hotel, i walked past it a few times trying to find it thinking that a hotel wouldnt have that much scaffolding - but you guessed it, it did!!!

If you wish to have a hot shower or bath in this hotel, you will be waiting. I changed rooms three times in order to get a room with hot water...in the end I gave up with a milky-watery sorry but we actually not going to do anything about it attitude. For £185 a night it is a disgrace...but I had no choice due to unavailability anywhere else. As for the noise levels....don't get me started!!

I was under no illusion this hotel is being hugely refurbed so I am not complaining, it is a bit shabby but will be great when complete. The food however did not come as advertised the nachos should have had guacamole and mayo and cheese, instead it was a few totrtilla chips in a bowl with some melted cheese and two pots of heinz mustard and tomato sauce! Really comfy bed though, the wi-fi worked and the check-in staff were friendly and helpful.

Hotel was under going outside renovation but no work was happening during the weekend. Hotel was well presented inside, staff very informative, room was large with excellent large bathroom ( double room ), no mini bar but off licences nearby if you wanted alcohol for your room. Excellent location for theatre, covent garden and oxford street 5 min walk, my first choice to look at again when i return for another weekend.
