Many guests appreciate the spacious deluxe rooms, often equipped with comfortable chairs, a fridge, and plenty of light. Bistro Pierre is conveniently located for pre-theatre dining, and while most find the breakfast satisfying, some have noted the fixed price regardless of the order.

Excellent Location and Friendly Service

quick walklarger roomstaff training
The RSC building is a quick five minute walk. The rooms are very clean and provide all necessary amenities. I received a complimentary upgrade. THE larger room and en suite were excellent. The Bistro Pierre is perfect for pre-theatre dining.
The bar staff were not very attentive. A friendlier approach with more options would greatly improve the experience. I feel that staff training would be beneficial.
