I'm not sure if I should be writing this review, because it feels as if this hotel, despite it's 600-odd rooms is a little bit of a secret! So please make sure rate this review! The hotel location is just about perfect for exploring the square mile. It is just of Tottenham Court road, and about 20 yards from the top of Oxford Street, giving a 10 minute walk to Soho, Covent Garden and Leicester Square etc. I stayed for 1 night recently and although the hotel was busy, staff were generally polite and efficient.

My single room was very small, but served its purpose well, even the single bed afforded me a fairly decent night's sleep.

The bar was friendly and lively enough to enable a solid dose of people watching. Also the Leffe on tap was the icing on the cake.

If you want luxury with mints on the pillow and a corby trouser press then look elsewhere, but if you want somewhere to get your head down after a night out in the Smoke, then this is as good as it gets for the price!
