my in-laws have stayed there twice...it is older but they found it clean and comfortable...the location can't be beat...it is near covent gardens and trafalgar square....the strand is a major street with convenient transportation and lots of taxis...charring cross station is just down the street...
simpsons in the strand is across the street--world famous restaurant

Hi- It has been YEARS since I stayed there-
The rooms were oldish=but at least the windows opened...they are NOT airconditioned...ONly the Lobby area is A/C...
They did have a good continental bkfst and a nice carvery restaurant in the hotel....
Not luxurious, but adequate....

Yes, I was there in June and loved it. Click on my name and read my trip report for some of the details...
It was fine. A lot of tourists. Breakfast is delightful whether its the full english or continental- either way I loved it- I would stay again.
I had a room for one and it wasn't as small as it looked online or by the descriptions here on Fodors. ( I was worried, but it was fine! I loved it. There was room to dance around and be giddy.
Have a wonderful time.

We stayed there for a week. The only problem we had was that they were puting in a new alarm system and seemed like they only tested it when I was trying to sleep. It did have small rooms, but they were clean and there was a very nice breakfast.
