The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with two king-size beds, but they could use some re-decoration. The service was very friendly, although at times it felt a bit overwhelmed. The location is ideal for exploring Covent Garden and the nearby Holborn subway station. The dining options were good overall, albeit slightly repetitive. The facilities are well-maintained, and the leisure facilities are a pleasant addition.

The hotel is conveniently close to Holborn tube station, making it ideal for exploring central attractions. The rooms are modern but lack sufficient space for toiletries, with somewhat poor lighting for makeup. The service is friendly and helpful, although there have been occasional noise disturbances. The dining options vary from average to good, with room for improvement in allergy-friendly selections. The location is fantastic for exploring Covent Garden and other nearby attractions. Overall, a convenient choice with some room for enhancement.

I have to say, the hotel completely surprised me with its ups and downs. The rooms were amazing and comfortable, but it felt like stepping back in time as they haven't been updated since the 90s.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was spacious, comfy, and clean, with good facilities and artistic decor. However, it was a bit noisy from the road, and there seemed to have been a recent leak. The service was a bit of a mixed bag - while some staff were friendly and courteous, others attempted to charge extra for various services. The location was fantastic, just a block or two from Holborn station, which was convenient for exploring Covent Garden, the West End, and Bloomsbury. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good variety but some disappointments like bland scrambled eggs and limited options. The facilities were acceptable, but there were some areas that needed attention.
