Small rooms, however very good value for money. You can not live in the middle of everything for less money.Small rooms, however very good value for money. You can not live in the middle of everything for less money.

The hotel's bar is an excellent venue to recharge your batteries and in a convenient location to meet up with friends.
The hotel itself is an imaginative conversion of the former 'French Hospital'. The rooms are triple-glazed - absolutely essential in this part of Covent Garden, unfortunately.
When I last visited the prices of wines by the btl were not excessive and there was a reasonable choice of modern and classic wines.
The bar can get crowded, particularly after 22:30 on days when all the theatres have shows on.
Service is OK and now it's smoke-free by law, it's suitable for anyone interested in a decent wine bar.The hotel's bar is an excellent venue to recharge your batteries and in a convenient location to meet up with friends.

Not eaten here unless you count mounds of nuts whilst hanging out at the bar. It's always packed when I've been here, uncomfortably so, but it is great for people watching the media crowd. Expensive.Not eaten here unless you count mounds of nuts whilst hanging out at the bar. It's always packed when I've been here, uncomfortably so, but it is great for people watching the media crowd.

I've no idea what the hotel is like, I hope it's lovely, but I went into their bar for a few drinks at an event and was horrified. Â£4.50 for a bottle of larger form the fridge, plus a 12% service charge. Thats 12% covers the cost of having a for a quiff touting failed male model who ignores you, finally takes your order, sniffs at not getting to show off his bar flair because you only ordered a beer and then opens the bottle and places it on a napkin on the bar top.

The actual room itself (sorry - two rooms - there is an annex at the back for events) are about the size of my hotel room, brightly lit with low hanging lightbulbs, and amazingly noisy because the walls are paneled. There was food available, but given that a gin and tonic was nearly a tenner all in, I couldn't have afforded the petit-pois on ryetoast, or whatever nu-cuisine rubbish they were selling.I've no idea what the hotel is like, I hope it's lovely, but I went into their bar for a few drinks at an event and was horrified.

Ok so I've heard all the blah blah about this place. I've seen Britney and co falling out the door to the waiting paps. And Iâ¬"ve seen the many magazine mentions the place has got. So as you can imagine I had high hopes.

Maybe too high?

Got to the front door and all was well. The usual snobby front of house staff. Can't imagine why. They look like they were dressed at DP's? All cheap black clothes ok Iâ¬"m the snob now, but a girl has high standards.

Next came the walk to my room...make that the looong walk. After the third turn it felt like the opening credits of prisoner cell block H. Get me to the safety of my room quick.

Finally got to a small all white room (still have the prison cell feeling. hmmm) Ok so they laid out the place well. But does the price tag justify this? Me thinks not.

Good if - you're not paying the bill, fancy a light breezy room for a hot summer in the city, need somewhere in the centre of town.

Bad if - you want bags of luxury style, looking to impress, save a bob or three.

All in all 8/10.
