We are a family of five with 3 kids between 5 and 12. We travelled during early Summer.
On the positive side:
- Very central and handy location 2 blocks from Covent Garden station (Leicester Square is the closest station)
- Concierge for the townhouse was very attentive and fast to respond when we had any questions or issues
- It is a well appointed and comfortable townhouse as well as clean
On the not so good:
- We arrived early in the morning and there was no luggage service available - we ended up spending 50 pounds to store until we could get access
- Being so central this location was extremely noisy more or less 24 hours a day (especially 12-5am). From our perspective it was not conducive to sleep (drunks, garbage trucks, alarms, construction noise etc)
- Not suitable if you are not mobile. It did not worry us but it has steep / narrow staircases over 3 levels
- It was Summer and there is no A/C. The apartment was stuffy and hot which meant the windows needed to be open to sleep but that meant more noise.
- If you are looking to stay in the boutique shop part of Covent Garden this area is not quite it. In our opinion it was 1-2 blocks off. Obviously this info is really hard to know if you are not a regular visitor to London like us. If you are looking for a boutique / village experience like this, we would recommend staying in the Seven Dials area or closer to Covent Garden station.
We acknowledge this part of West London is noisy and expensive - the flip side of this is you’ve got a location where you can quickly walk to major attractions or jump on the Underground to get to them.
All in all we had a good stay but for the price we paid to stay here we felt we would have got much better value getting 2 rooms at an equivalent appointed boutique hotel in the Covent Garden area.
