Arosfa HotelEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Finding an affordable hotel in such an amazingly central London location (right behind Tottenham Court Road and within walking distance to London’s West End) is a treat in itself. Stumbling across a quirky spot like the Arosfa Hotel is icing on the cake. Offering excellent service, affordable rates and modern rooms with a touch of luxury, this B&B sets the “budget boutique hotel” bar high.

Each of the Arosfa’s 18 airy rooms has its own style. Trendy vases add personality to simple furnishings and large modern canvases add splashes of color to white walls. All rooms are equipped with a flat-screen television, fan, coffee and tea maker, radio and telephone.

The private bathrooms are finished to the highest standard with cream tiles and silver fittings. Rainfall showers pour on the luxury.

The Arofsa Hotel’s fabulous living room, with its huge windows framed by grand curtains, is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day. Black leather sofas, designer mirrored drawers and a transparent plastic table make the whole thing feel sleek but welcoming. But we really loved the beautifully manicured garden (complete with canary), a great place to barbecue in the summer months.

A traditional English breakfast is included in the room rate, and the basement breakfast room also has a modern spin, with trendy wooden chairs and tables. A few Internet stations are also available, free of charge.
