Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is superb, being right behind Oxford Street and in the heart of prime shopping areas. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, although some issues like a lack of hot water in the wash basin and poor lighting in the bathroom affected the experience. The service was inconsistent with some staff being unhelpful and inefficient. The dining experience was overpriced and not very impressive, especially for the price. However, the convenience of the location is a major highlight despite the shortcomings.
The hotel is in a prime location, right under the rooftop bar with spacious and comfy rooms by London standards. The breakfast was satisfactory, and the hotel's position is great, nestled amidst popular areas like Soho and close to major attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing attentive service, although some improvements could enhance the overall experience.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were not up to par, being small and tatty, but the location was excellent, right in the heart of the city. The service was a bit hit and miss, with some staff being helpful while others seemed uninterested. The dining experience left much to be desired, with poor quality and messy servings. However, there were some unique historical connections that added a touch of intrigue to the stay.
The hotel is in a prime location, nestled between Oxford Street and Carnaby Street with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby. The rooms, while spacious, lacked coziness and were poorly equipped, with a noticeable cigarette odor in the bathroom. The service was decent but marred by a misstep at check-in. The dining experience fell short of expectations with subpar food quality and coffee. Despite some drawbacks, the historical building exudes charm and tranquility.
The hotel is in a prime location in London's Soho area, making it excellent for exploring the city. While the rooms could use a bit of maintenance and the breakfast options were limited one morning, the size and overall appeal of the rooms make it a good choice for its location. Despite some hazards and lack of information provided in the room, I would consider staying here again.
The hotel is located right at the end of Carnaby Street, making it perfect for shopping, nightlife, and sightseeing. The rooms are of low standards but decent, with our view being the Palladium's slate roof. The service was nice and helpful overall, although a maintenance issue was openly admitted. The location offers a vibrant nightlife around Carnaby Street, though some common areas could use a bit more cleaning. The dining experience wasn't excellent and a bit pricey, with room service being offered. The hotel has both positive and negative aspects to consider.
The hotel had spacious rooms but needed some maintenance as the washbasin and radio control button were cracked, and there were wires taped on the floor. The terrace bar could be noisy until late. The size of the room was good, but the furnishings were dated and needed some attention, not reflecting the hotel's star rating.
The hotel room was a decent size but lacked maintenance with broken fixtures and cleanliness issues. It fell short of a 3-star standard, with various issues like broken taps and non-functional lights. Additionally, the room was cold due to a left-open window, and the bed had stains on the sheets.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, right in the heart of London's Soho area with easy access to attractions and shopping, the rooms were only of a standard similar to budget hotels. The service fell short of expectations, with issues in cleanliness and rude receptionists. The dining options were average, and the facilities were lacking. Despite the great location, the hotel seemed overpriced for what it offered.
