We had an excellent stay at the St. Martin Lane Hotel. It served as our home base for the week we spent in London. The location cannot be beat! You're right in the west end and can easily get to everything that London has to offer. Covent Garden is a great place to stay and is convenient to dining, shopping and attractions. Despite being in the middle of everything, the hotel was quiet and devoid of noise. This made retiring to our room and resting up for our next day adventures easy. The rooms are tight but this is to be expected when staying in very popular, major city locations. The beds were wonderful; we slept very well. The bathrooms have clouded glass toilet and shower stalls which make for easy sharing of the room with family. The staff were absolutely wonderful...the were probably the best part of the stay. They were warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and willing to assist with whatever you need. The only criticism I have is that the hotel is showing its age and could use a refresh. However, this would not deter us from staying again in the future. All in all, a great hotel!
