We had stayed here several years back and returned because of the location. We were very impressed with the upgrades and the desk staff were very helpful. We had two doubles but they upgraded one of the rooms as they didn't have two rooms near each other ready. Our larger room was a nice size but the other room was... More

Great location, a short walk to most of the main areas, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly circus etc which is ideal. The room was very nice, but very small. The bathroom contained a large shower but no shower door! Was running late so unable to inform staff until the following day. Also the shower floor filled up with water whilst showering and... More

I stayed in this hotel for only 1 night but have some good and bad points to make. Upon arriving I tried to check-in and was told that the hotel was overbooked by 10 and that I may be moved elsewhere. I was really to blow but lucky they found a room for me. I was with my friend and... More

We stayed just one night but wished we stayed more, from the moment we arrived to the time we checked out everyone was happy and friendly and nothing was ever any trouble, including leaving our bags before checking in and after we checked out so we could do some more shopping! The room was clean not a massive room but... More

My wife and I recently enjoyed a mid-week stay here. Since we were last here there have been some extensive refurbishments. Our room - an upgrade - was the same size and layout as the one on our previous stay which was approx. five years ago (we usually stay at the Thistle Piccadilly). Here are my comments which I posted... More

We recently stayed for 2 nights in the Royal Tragfalgar London and were really pleasantly surprised. At the last minute we asked the Hotel if a 3rd person could stay in the twin room that we had originaly booked and for £30 extra per night they placed a Roll away bed in the room no problem. The room was excellent... More

First Impressions. The Hotel is located on Whitcomb Street in central London and just a 2 minute walk from Leicester Square or Trafalgar Square. The Hotel’s location is ideal for shopping, theatre or sightseeing trips to the capitol. Furthermore there is a multi-storey car park just 10 meters away and safe enough to leave your car here for the weekend... More

Sandwiched between Leicester Sq and Trafalgar Sq on a quiet side street. Only a 2 minute walk to each Square. Perfect for theatre, business, leisure. The location couldn't be better. Tip: ask for a high floor to get views of Nelsons Column, Millennium Wheel and Gherkin tower in the City. More

Had a 1 night stay in a standard twin room. The hotel is very well situated between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. We found the staff very helpful and pleasant. Our room on the third floor was clean, comfortable and quiet considering its location. Would definitely return to this hotel. More

We had a two night stay in a standard double room. There are still some renovations going on at this hotel but we weren't affected by them. Our room (419) was newly refurbished. It was a reasonable size and fine for a short stay though you might be pushed for room if you had a weeks worth of luggage with... More
