It was a nice, hotel and well located for the theatre. The downside for me as a bigger person is the bathroom sink is far large and directly opposite the towel heater creating a narrow passage for you to pass through and not burn yourself. Apart from that it was good.

Great location but older

Very nice hotel but as others have pointed out it is getting older. Excellent location and amazing views of the London Eye. Room was comfortable, loved the under floor heating in the bathroom and big king bed. They did not restock the minibar each day, one of the elevators was always broken and the windows should really be double glazing. I know it would be expensive to replace due to heritage type but really should be upgraded.

It is a traditional hotel and situated next to the River Thames. Rooms were adequate with underfloor heating in the well equipped bathroom. We were on Floor 8 and the walk to the room from the lobby was over 5 minutes even if the slow lifts were available. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is close to Underground and other transport links. Good buffet breakfast.
