The Hub Covent Garden

A fantastic choice if you’re on a budget but still want to be right at the heart of things, rooms at the Hub are rather like a super-modern cruise ship cabin.

Everything is at the touch of a button, from the comfy Hypnos beds to the power showers and 40-inch smart TVs. Rooms have London scenes as paintings or maps as wall friezes, modest desks, and a control pad with all the mod-cons near bed headboards, plus free Wi-Fi.

This isn’t the place if you’re looking for a romantic weekend; the Hub is slick and functional – a place to sleep in-between sightseeing and exploring, rather than a destination in its own right.
