Review summary

Guests consistently highlight the hotel's superb location, right on The Strand and a short walk from Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden, with convenient access to rail and underground stations. The spacious and clean rooms, some offering views of the National Gallery, often include complimentary mini-bar items like cola and water. The breakfast, served in a beautiful dining room, receives high praise for its variety; however, a few guests have noted that the air conditioning in some rooms could be more effective.

adequate location, but a few issues

acceptable locationfaulty air conditioningluggage inconvenience
the location was quite acceptable for visiting attractions.
The air conditioning wasn't cold enough, even after they fixed it. the front desk insisted it worked while it was actually off. also, uber drivers can't stop in front of the building. Only taxis are allowed, so it was difficult to bring our luggage inside, even though there were staffs available.
