"A very nice hotel in a great location. Despite being on the busy Charing Cross Road, the room was very quiet. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. For one person the room was the perfect size. However, I think it would be a bit cramped for two people. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending it."

8/10 Good
"It was a very cozy, small space with a lovely bathroom and hangout area. We learned upon arrival if two guests are sharing the same pod, they both will need to have individual access on their phones. After a long travel, it is something good to know beforehand, so you can go straight to your nest. The pod had lots of outlets and adjustable fun lighting. The AC will not go below 19 degrees and unevenly is distributed throughout the pod. So, my friends was very cold and I was burning out. Overall, I would come back again"
