The Ned

Bank London|1.77km from LSE Library: The British Library of Political and Economic Science
Very satisfied with a hotel, worthy of this price. When I made a mistake at the time of booking, I saw that the room information showed that the facilities for the disabled were provided, and I didn’t think about it. I found that it was a special room for the disabled. It was really embarrassing. . . Before the check-in, the hotel contacted me via Ctrip and asked me about my check-in time. My answer may arrive at noon, which will be far earlier than the hotel's check-in time. The reply will be arranged according to the situation on the day. On the day of the check-in, we arrived at the hotel around 11:00 and they were all ready. Thank you very much! The hotel was originally remodeled by the bank and opened only last year, new and atmospheric. There are seven or eight restaurants in the hotel lobby, and the taste is comprehensive. Geographically, it is located in the downtown area, walking close to the hotels around the Thames, and next to the subway station. The decor of the room is completely classic British style, the details are carefully polished, very special and very like. There are no less than 20 kinds of bath products, which is extremely luxurious. I saw a comment on the book saying that the sound of the music downstairs was noisy, but the actual experience was completely unrecognizable. The sound insulation of the window was well done. The sound of the door next door was noisy. This may be the only fly in the ointment.

AMANO Covent Garden

Theatreland London|0.34km from LSE Library: The British Library of Political and Economic Science
We stayed at this hotel 13-15th September 2022 as a theatre visit treat. The hotel is excellent for theatre land. It is a stone's throw from the Aldwych (Tina) and convenient for lots of other theatres too. The hotel is modern as I believe it has only recently reopened up. The staff are very helpful and the roof top terrace is lovely for a nice drink either before or after the theatre. We had asked for an accessible room and the room was big. The bathroom was huge so as to accommodate a wheelchair user. However we did come across some teething problems which could easily be sorted out. 1. No bedside tables or shelf. Glasses etc had to be left on the floor by the bed 2. No shelves in the wardrobe. The only shelf in the wardrobe was about 7' high (not good for a wheelchair user) Only two tiny drawers in the wardrobe too 3. Really Tiny hand basin in ensuite - about the size of a toothbrush all round. 4. Bathroom totally flooded while showering. My husband reported it to reception who apologised and assured us it would be cleaned within the next hour. However on our return to the hotel after the theatre we discovered the floor was still soaking wet and still covered with our wet towels we had used to mop up the water. Apologies again from reception who said they would report it and offered us a complimentary breakfast the following morning which was excellent. 5. The vanity pack in the bathroom contained 1 cotton bud. Obviously it had already been opened by the previous occupant but not replaced by housekeeping 6. We had to ask for more tea/coffee/milk in the room as it hadn't been replenished when cleaning the room 7. There was no mirror in the bedroom to use when using hair dryer to dry hair. The flex on the hairdryer was really tight so had to sit on the bed by the headboard where the plug sockets were to try and dry hair.

Citadines Holborn - Covent Garden London

London|0.41km from LSE Library: The British Library of Political and Economic Science
Let start with some positives:- Great location, very close to tube station, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and within walking distance of many tourist attractions. The area is very safe with both foot and vehicle traffic, travelling as a solo female I never felt unsafe at any time of the day or early evening. The room was well appointed with all you needed in a well set up mini kitchen for cooking some meals, although there was occasionally a cooking smell in the hallways when other guests were cooking something very strong. The main areas, including a fantastic (app. required) laundry were always clean and tidy. There is a seating area adjacent to reception where you can make yourself a drink and relax. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom mid grade with hot water (more about that later) Now to the negatives:- There were two issues whilst I was staying here, one was no hot water for one weekend and no wifi for another weekend. Whilst these issues do occur I'm sure at other hotels from time to time the communication was poor around these issues, with staff not able to answer when these issues would be resolved. After quite a few to and fro's the reception staff finally found another hotel for me for one night so at least I could have a shower. Before I checked out I took the oppurtunity to sit down with Marco, the front officer manager to provide him with my constructive feedback about my stay and the issues including communication. Marco thanked me for taking the time to speak to him, and hopefully my feedback will assist management in future if issues like this arise again. Although these issues did arise and detracted from my overall happiness with the stay I would be happy to stay here again in future as long as issues identified are dealt with promptly and communication has improved.

The Lincoln Suites
4.4/5111 Reviews
Theatreland
I feel it is important to post this review since I benefited greatly from previous reviewers in order to pick this gem of a hotel for our recent trip to London. One of the things I was drawn to initially was that payment was not due for our reservation until 3 days before arrival and that cancellation could be up to 24 hours before arrival. This was an advantage to other hotels I had been looking at before. Also, The Lincoln Suites gave a discount for extended stays, of which ours was 10 days, so any discount in London is much appreciated. Before our arrival I had several questions for the staff. Each time I emailed (I think 4 times) I received a response in less than 24 hours. We arrived on Wednesday, May 17th between 9-10 am from an overnight flight from the States and were enthusiastically welcomed by Klaudia at the front desk. She gave us an option for early check-in as a room had just been vacated and then kindly called housekeeping to quickly ready the room for us. This was unexpected but a very welcome surprise as we did not think we would get into a room early. We opted to leave our bags with reception anyway and headed off to familiarize ourselves with the area to give them the time they needed. Klaudia kindly offered to call us when the room was ready. This was a lovely thing to do and we greatly appreciated her efforts. When we came back our room was ready, and Klaudia had called us as she promised, although we did not hear the phone, our fault. We stayed in the lovely Room 311 which had a large window facing Kingsway so we had a nice view of the street but were high enough to avoid any noise issues. I believe this room is called a Kingsway Studio. Things not mentioned in the description online include: Each side of the bed had a nightstand with 3 shelves for stowing essentials, and a lamp, there was a small round dining table with 2 chairs, large built in closet (with a safe, ironing board and iron, 8 hangers and cubbies for folded items as well as 2 large top shelves to stow luggage or other large items), 1 luggage rack, a convenient side table beside the closet that we used as a drop zone for purses and day bags. Kitchen also had a sink and the fridge was larger than a normal hotel room fridge. They also provided two cold water bottles in the fridge at no charge. There was dish soap and a tea towel for washing up under the sink. Cups, glasses, bowls, cookware and cutlery were provided. The bathroom had a large shower with nice hot water supply, large sink with shelves beside and below for toiletry items. Plenty of towels were provided both in the bathroom and extras were found in the built in closet. Our bed was comfortable and noise was minimal from outside although you could occasionally hear doors of other rooms closing but it was not bothersome. HVAC worked well our entire stay. I read in advance that the rooms are only cleaned every 4th day at The Lincoln Suites and Klaudia kindly reminded us at check-in. We were on a 10 d
Club Quarters Hotel Covent Garden Holborn, London
4/5115 Reviews
Theatreland
This hotel is very centrally located and is an English-style building in a quiet area. There is a yard at the entrance, and you can drink free black tea or coffee in the lobby and yard. It happened to be able to see the green space of the London School of Economics and Political Science (at first thought it was a park) 5 meters away from a small road. It is more than 200 meters away from the main building of King's College London. After going out, you will reach the main road, and the subway station is less than 200 meters from the hotel. There is a fruit shop next to the subway station. The fruit is cheap and of good quality. For example, Italian grapes cost 1 pound a box. There are boots drugstores on the main road, there are also metro banks, bars and fast food restaurants, including McDonald’s Starbucks Costa Burger King. The hotel itself is very comfortable, and the waiters on several shifts are very warm and friendly. The hotel is very clean. You need to clean the room by yourself, or ring the bell to ask the waiter to clean it (15 pounds)
The Z Hotel Holborn
4.1/544 Reviews
Theatreland
Great value for money! We stayed in a no window, basement room at the hotel for 3 nights as a couple in our late 20s. Given you aren’t spending much time in your room, but to shower and sleep it was great. If you’re looking for 5 star and space, this isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for good value accom, reasonably clean, central location (we literally walked everywhere even though the tube was so close too) and quiet, this is great. Only two things: Shower - only went up to 38C - said so on the tap, so might be a bit cold in winter if you wanna have a super hot shower. Aircon - note would be that if you do book a no window room, you do need to have the aircon running constantly otherwise it’s quite stuffy. Again both of these things didn’t bother us at all, but only flagging as I know for some people it would. All in all for the value it was clean, comfy, wonderfully friendly staff, great coffee next door, great location and great value. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!
The Waldorf Hilton, London
4.4/555 Reviews
Theatreland
Excellent! We were assigned to the 7th floor, the executive room was upgraded to a suite, and an extra small bed was added for free. Compared with other hotels in London (such as Marriott Apartments and Indigo), the service response is very fast, and you can basically get what you want or the service you want within 20 minutes. For a particularly highlight moment, the hotel prepares a little Waldorfian passport for the children who stay in the hotel. After completing the adventure, go to the hotel front desk and put the corresponding sticker on it, and you will get the mysterious grand prize (a small teddy bear). We started the challenge on the last day after leaving the store, and unfortunately there were no more teddy bears in stock. However, the hotel tried its best (front desk, room service, concierge) to help us find a teddy doll. A handsome black man at the front desk called his colleague and said: ”The child is leaving the UK. He passed all the challenges. Can't get it?” He will be very disappointed with the teddy bear, please help the poor child.” Finally, when leaving the hotel, the hotel gave the child a teddy bear and many blessings. The executive lounge is also fantastic. A very good stay experience, I will book again next time!

Middle Eight
4.5/5110 Reviews

Booked a 2-week long stay at Middle Eight for both business and leisure and was able to experience 2 types of room tiers during my stay. Specifically for the Urban room which was a larger sized room, the room was large (by London standards) and the bed was extremely comfortable. Toilets are small but had all of the great amenities including an excellent rain shower with good water pressure! The hotel property is very new, very beautifully designed and the location of the hotel is perhaps one of it's best traits - you're within a 5 minute brisk walk from 2 underground stations (Holborn & Covent Garden) - there are lots of great dining options in the near vicinity of the hotel however this also means that on weekend nights noise from surrounding pubs can be heard by hotel guests. Aside from this though, my stay was excellent, and I will definitely be rebooking with Middle Eight during my next visit to London!
