              The location is quiet and right in the middle between Soho/Piccadilly, staff were excellent, rooms are really unique and modern, breakfast is particularly good.

              Worst value for dollar hotel experience in my lifetime and not the kind of service one expects shelling out £13.50 for a cocktail in the bar.
