Can't believe people pay a fortune for the HI over the road or the PI or Travel Lodge when you have this place a short walk for Covent Garden.

Room spacious, clean and comfortable. Nice mattress, bed linens & pillows. Bathroom clean and nice. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel because there is a Pret a Manger just down the street where I could get breakfast at a much better price. Location right by British Museum and underground, in a pleasant neighborhood. Lots of local restaurants where I had good, reasonably priced dinners.
