Duchy House is excellent value accommodation in central London, especially for solo travelers. My room was clean, comfortable and very quiet. The location is wonderful - right on the strand a short walk from Covent garden and Trafalgar Square. There are many coffee shops and a small Tesco right outside. The staff were also excellent and very helpful. The first day my room was warm, so the staff found me a fan. About halfway through my stay the lock on my room broke and had to be cracked open. The staff moved me to a new (bigger) room immediately. They also allowed me to extend my stay by a night at the last minute, and did not charge me due to the inconvenience of changing rooms. I will definitely stay at duchy house again when I return to London.
