“Covent Garden warmth, broken lift”
The Resident Covent Garden is a small, warm hotel in an excellent spot near restaurants and sights — guests walk to most places and buy breakfast from nearby cafés and the supermarket. Rooms are clean and comfortable with a kitchen option that first-time London visitors loved, staff are very friendly — using phone translation for non-English speakers — and sweet touches include a welcome card, chocolates and a child's doll tucked into bed. Caveats: rooms and the bathroom sink run small, the lift broke on day two of one stay and was not repaired before departure, and soundproofing divides opinion.
