We
stayed
for
a
night
in
October.
It’s
the
worst
£243
I’ve
ever
spent.
Positives:
The
location
is
superb,
in
the
heart
of
Soho,
with
a
plethora
of
fantastic
eateries
on
the
doorstep.
It’s
a
short
walk
to
theatres
too.
I
loved
the
compact
design
of
the
room
and
the
shower
was
particularly
good.
The
staff
were
brilliant
and
so
helpful.
Negatives:
Our
room
was
a
trek
to
the
third
floor
(I
walk
with
a
stick
and
requested
a
room
with
easy
access).
There
is
a
lift,
and
an
outdoor
spiral
staircase,
which
was
not
an
option
when
pouring
with
rain.
The
bed
was
rock
hard,
the
duvet
ridiculously
heavy
and
the
room
so
hot,
we
were
sweating
(the
AC
wasn’t
working,
which
appears
to
be
its
default
state).
I
had
also
requested
a
quiet
room.
It
turned
out
the
Queen
rooms
are
on
the
noisiest
side
of
the
hotel,
according
to
the
receptionist
(despite
being
pricier),
with
vehicles
continually
driving
over
loose,
loud
metal
drain
covers
all
night.
There
was
also
no
wifi.
After
zero
hours
sleep
at
3:30am,
I
went
down
to
reception
to
request
a
room
change.
They
were
incredibly
helpful,
understanding
and
apologetic
(I
got
the
impression
they
might
be
used
to
regularly
apologising
and
offering
complimentary
breakfast
and
late
check-out).
We
were
moved
to
an
accessible
room,
far
more
spacious,
quieter
and
with
a
super-comfy
bed
and
lovely,
light
duvet.
However,
the
room
had
a
tang
of
the
drains
and
the
window
was
sealed
shut,
which
was
particularly
unpleasant
and
the
air
con
wreaked
of
stale
water.
We
were
offered
a
free
breakfast,
but,
even
with
our
late
checkout,
we
ran
out
of
time.
We
had
to
cut
our
London
break
short
and
travel
home
early,
being
thoroughly
exhausted
after
only
two
hours
sleep.
Never,
ever
again!
