LSE High Holborn

The LSE is a fantastic location, perfectly situated for Covent Garden, the West End, and the shops of Oxford Street. The staff were incredibly welcoming upon our arrival, and the room was spacious with a large bed that ensured a restful night's sleep. We stayed in room 201, which faces the front and overlooks the road. Given the warm weather, we opted to sleep with the windows open. However, as it's London, the street noise was significant, so I wouldn’t recommend this room to light sleepers. There was a fan in the room, which provided air circulation if we had chosen not to open the windows. Breakfast was excellent, with a vast selection of mainly cold food, including a pancake maker and toasters. The dining area was a wonderful space to sit and chat with other guests from all over the world. Unfortunately, there was one major downside: the shower in our room did not drain properly and flooded the bathroom within 40 seconds. As a result, we were unable to shower. Although the maintenance crew was on-site, they were very busy with other customers’ complaints. We waited until 10am but had to leave without a resolution. This issue alone would prevent me from booking this venue again, even though other guests seemed to have functioning showers.
