That depends on what makes a hotel "nice" for you.
Inside toilets?
Proximity to somewhere?
Cost?
Proper soap, or one of these soap dispenser thingies in the bathroom?

Yeah Greedo, what is considered nice? There's massive variance

Okay. I'll make it clear. Something that's not cheap, something boutique, something that's not a Crowne plaza, Hilton or Marriott type place

That's exactly the type of place. Good shout.

Like the name as well. Wee play on cheating spouses.

I have spent a lot of time in the past selecting a London Hotel and when I get there find they are all much about such, it seems to be just a case of getting (a lot less than)what you pay for.
I do get a little excitement when booking these "secret hotel" deals where you don't know the exact location until you have clicked on the pay button, but maybe that's not your thing.

Not that close to Covent Garden, but the Malmaison Hotel in Charterhouse Square (Farringdon) comes highly recommended.

I've been to the Charlotte Street Hotel - this one is in the group (and in Covent Garden)

Oh yes indeed i will be breathing the Londres air!!

Going down on a business type thing and then thinking of flying Mrs Greedo down on the Friday as a surprise for a wee weekend of fun. In all the times I've been before I've never been to Covent Garden for one reason or another so just fancied something different.

Dying to go to Atul Kochhars restaurant Benares in Berkeley Square and reckon Covent Garden is not too far


Thanks for the hotel tip B)

if you find somewhere, check out the reviews on Trip Advisor - something we wish we had done before leaving the car at a hotel in Manchester and going on holiday for 2 weeks. The hotel billed itself as a "country park-style" hotel, but it was filthy. We got back to the UK to find that the car had been broken into - as had a few others while their owners were away. Welcome home!

I only really use tripadvisor for holidays. For a weekend in the UK I'll take recommendations mainly and although she hasn't stayed there ttcycle came up trumps. Exactly what I was looking for
