 Breakfast appears to be a reasonable hotel rate but is actually 21 85 when the VAT and service charge are added However it is an option and you can always choose to go elsewhere as we did As a petite individual it is frustrating that in our overbath shower the shower head was fixed high on the wall A minor niggle I suppose but a flexible shower arrangement is always a bonus However they do provide those very sexy shower caps to keep your hair dry Maybe the better rooms have flexible shower arrangements 
 The location of this hotel is excellent for a London stay Quick access to Covent Garden attractions and amenities Holborn underground is just around the corner opening up wherever you want to go in the rest of the capital The staff are very friendly and helpful We arrived early and were given our room well ahead of book in time Ours was a standard room and was very clean and comfortable It was quiet and there was plenty of hot water On our last day after checking out they kept our bags until we were ready to head back to the airport All in all a very good hotel and we have stayed in a few others in the same price bracket We plan to use it again next year
