The staff offered a glass of juice upon arrival, a nice touch after traveling. My room had cosy dressing gowns and slippers, very welcome additions. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It was very good quality. I appreciated the short walk to Covent Garden and shows.
The hotel desk tried to add some non-existent charges during check-out. The issue received immediate attention, resolving it before my departure. It caused a little delay, however.
