We were lead to believe that the hotel was closer to the theatre than it actually was. We had planned on walking but ended up taking two tubes.

"A gem of a hotel tucked away but within easy access to London shows by public transport."
Excellent room and service throughout the two days. Staff very helpful, polite and efficient. The swimming pool an added bonus, Very filling breakfast with plenty of choice for all diets. Nice touches such as fresh iced water with a choice of flavours in the foyer area to welcome guests. We hope to return again soon, I would highly recommend this hotel.

"Very average "
A nightmare to find at night from the tube station. The bright clean reception didn`t translate to our room. Mould on bathroom roof and no extractor fan working in bathroom. The room looked a little tired. The fan was a godsend and we preferred it to air on as quieter. Great breakfast though
