“Leicester Square luxury, tight quarters”
The Londoner wins raves for its spot at the heart of Leicester Square — shows, Chinatown, Regent Street, Piccadilly, Oxford Circus and Bond Street all walkable — yet stays quiet and restful inside. The spa is luxurious and free without bookings, interiors carry an old-money style with smart toilets and separate walk-in showers, slippers are lavish, toiletries come pre-provided, staff are proactive and warm, breakfast is rich, and a lobby bar offers a daily free drink. Downsides: rooms are genuinely small, one curtain would not fully close, the spend is high, and drivers cannot pull up to the door — awkward with luggage.
