Great hotel in a great location. Quiet at night, even though it's on busy Charing Cross Road. Very good coffee shop in the lobby, which also serves breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to Leicester Square underground (5 min), Covent Garden neighborhood (5 min), Big Ben/Parliament & Westminster Abbey (10 min), and British Museum (15 min). Long walk to Buckingham Palace. Plenty of food within walking distance. Chinatown 10 minutes away by foot, along with many theatres. Highly recommend.
