Mostly great but noisy outdoor aircon units
I enjoyed staying at this hotel, great breakfast and lgood location, but not after wasting my time and sleep asking to change rooms because the inner outdoor space is full of noisy air conditioning units. Especially if the bed is near the window, it's noisy enough to stop me getting back to sleep. Even the outer rooms facing the road have nearby aircon units, but at least a bit quieter. There was no noise from the aircon inside the rooms. I don't know what you can do except to replace the machines with quieter ones or improve the window sound insulation.

Good hotel.
Decent hotel, a bit pricey I would say but by London standards I guess it’s on the lighter side. Its walking distance (within 30 minutes walk) from West End Theatres and from China Town. Kings Cross is about 15 minutes walk though would recommend taxi if travelling with luggage. Even though it said kids have free breakfast when having with adults at the time of booking, there’s a cut off of 13 years which was not made clear at the time of booking online. So we had to pay £16.50 per day for our 14 year old which I found was too costly and disappointing due to not being made aware. If I knew before, I would not have booked breakfast at all as there are many breakfast places near by which would be cheaper for breakfast. Overall, good hotel, we have stayed here before and likely to stay again.
