Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel AMANO Covent Garden, in Covent Garden, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the strong location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. The vibe lands somewhere between residential and editorial, which is rarer than it sounds. With well over 8,600 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €224 a night and the value score puts it in a middle-of-the-road bracket compared with similar properties. Stack Hotel AMANO Covent Garden against the better-known names in London and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
