This is a good hotel in a good location. Between two tube stops (Holborn and Tottenham Court) and easily walkable to other areas, I found this to be a conveniently located hotel. Pleasant hotel staff, from the front desk to housekeeping. An all around good choice for a reasonably priced hotel. Yes, there are elevators!!

The location is very good for the theatre’s, transportation to and from LHR, museums, pubs, etc.. The restaurant serves a very good breakfast and dinner. Housekeeping could do a better job. They turned up late in the day when we were back in the room. Overall, we were happy without stay.
