Fantastic stay near Leicester Square!

The team provided an upgrade to a suite when they could not meet our two-bed request, a great solution for us. The suite included a comfortable king bed and a convenient pull-out bed. The bathroom was quite large. It featured lots of plush towels and a heated towel rack. The hotel's location was fantastic, near numerous restaurants and shopping spots.
I found that the coffee machine was not very clean, and there was no milk or sugar left for making drinks.

wonderful stay!

early check-in good staff
the early check-in was convenient, great to drop our bags and start exploring. the staff was good, and breakfast featured great waiting staff who explained everything clearly! i did wish there was milk or sugar provided with the in-room water and coffee machine. seeing the wheel lit up at night was an amazing view.
I thought putting the wi-fi password in the rooms is needed, as i only noticed it upon checking out. This small addition would be really helpful !
