My husband and I stayed here during a pre-Christmas holiday in London. The room was spacious, quiet and very modern. The toiletries and towels were high quality. There was nowhere to power the hairdryer in the bathroom however I have been told that is a health and safety policy in London. The location was perfect with lots of great bars... More

Stayed here for a night with my wife. Chose it because of its proximity to Ronnie Scotts Jazz club. Was overall disappointed. The bar area which is in the actual reception lobby and not separated was packed with loud revelers something that I did not expect from a 5 star expensive hotel. There were a group of 6 or so...

We arrived yesterday for my boyfriends birthday. We got told not to stand at the end of the bar and move, the gentleman did not offer a menu, he walked away from us? rude? We moved. He then served us, very grumpy. Ten minutes later two people started an argument. The kind of people this place is attracting is not... More

Dear Kirsten, please accept our apologies if you feel that you were treated ungraciously during your visit to the Long Bar. We have looked into what happened and understand that you were asked to move as you were standing in the Service Area at the Bar, had you remained there you would have been continuously disturbed by the staff coming...

We are so sorry to hear that your Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea experience was not as enjoyable as you had hoped. Unfortunately, as there is limited space available in the Courtyard we are unable to guarantee tables outside as if we are particularly busy, guests are seated inside the restaurant. Please accept our apologies for the disappointment this caused you... More

We enjoy staying here, have stayed here several times... Great location and the rooms are nice. It's modern and trendy, people seem to love the lobby for the lips couch and floating chairs, good for pics. The gym here is actually really decent. No issues. No complaints. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
A lavish "Urban Spa" in the heart of London’s West End, Sanderson offers a retreat from the bustle of the city into a world of fantasy and wellbeing. The landmarked 50s building has been transformed into a surreal Cocteau-like dream world, epitomizing a “new luxury” that is smart, pared down, and tempered with a healthy dose of wit and irony. Sanderson’s indoor/outdoor lobby is a layered and sophisticated environment that is totally original. ... more   less
