My stay at The Resident was fantastic! The rooms were very comfortable and had adequate amenities, making it feel like a home away from home. Despite overlooking the road, it was surprisingly quiet in the evening. The service was top-notch; the staff were divine and incredibly welcoming, which was a pleasant surprise for a city-central hotel. The location was very central to Covent Garden and the theatre district. The hotel is well-presented and close to everything one might need, with great transport links. The dining experience, particularly the homemade cakes, was excellent.
