This is a good hotel in a good location. Between two tube stops (Holborn and Tottenham Court) and easily walkable to other areas, I found this to be a conveniently located hotel. Pleasant hotel staff, from the front desk to housekeeping. An all around good choice for a reasonably priced hotel. Yes, there are elevators!!
