Booked this hotel as we had tickets to see The Lion King at the Lyceum theatre which is next to the hotel. Perfect location! Only a short walk from Covent Garden tube station and so lots of restaurants and shops around too.
This hotel is one of the nicest I’ve stayed at in London!
The public areas of the hotel as well as the room itself were sparkling clean. We also had the loveliest surprise in the form of a handwritten birthday card and a small box of chocolates for my husband as we came away for part of his birthday. Such a nice touch that wasn’t expected.
Maybe it’s because it was the weekend of the London Marathon or maybe it’s because I haven’t stayed in a London hotel for a few years now but the price did seem a little expensive for one night. Needless to say it didn’t spoil our stay!
Breakfast was included and was amazing. Plenty of choice with continental and cooked. The staff were on it and quick to turn tables over for the amount of guests staying. If you asked them for something, you got it straight away without having to wait forever. So efficient. Just what you need. We saw fresh food being brought out constantly too and the staff dishing out the cooked breakfasts weren’t stingy with the portions and happy to give you whatever you wanted.
The porters are so lovely and helpful especially when it comes to storing your luggage. They were using the gin palace room for it and you could leave your suitcases in there all day. I felt confident in that our belongings were safe and secure.
When you pay for your room in advance, like through Airbnb, you are able to benefit from the express checkout option which is handy when there’s a queue. You simply drop your card in the box and off you go. Easy as that!
Our stay was hassle free and relaxing and I would highly recommend.
