The West End
Hidden away in a pedestrianised court in the heart of Covent Garden, this pretty and desirable 25-room hotel (named after the novelist Henry Fielding, who lived nearby) has been furnished to a very high standard: bathrooms have lovely walk-in showers, and rooms, while small, are beautifully done up and fully air-conditioned. There's no breakfast but the area is full of cafes.
Room 10 has a lounge and looks to the street; room 15 is on two levels.
