What a fantastic hotel! Prosecco on arrival, an upgraded room and very friendly staff! The room was absolutely spotless and had the best bathrobes and towels I think I've ever had in any 5 star hotel. Staff were very friendly on check in and helped us with great directions when required. We didn't eat in the hotel but did spend some time in the bar after our theatre show and had some great cocktails - again, the staff here were excellent. This hotel is very competitively priced as a 5 star hotel in London - we will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending it as a great place to stay.

Hotel's Favorite
This Hotel was perfectly located, intimate, and extremely clean. The staff was amazing, the facilities and amenities were perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better stay in London. The gym was small, but provided plenty of equipment to workout, the restaurant was nice, and the bar was perfectly placed. Would highly recommend! Worth every penny!

The hotel is in the heart of Covent Garden but away from the noise. The hotel staff are very friendly and the rooms are spacious and comfy. It is a 5 minute walk from the tube and 10 minute walk from Leicester Square. I would definitely recommend this quality hotel.

A luxury hotel in the perfect location to enjoy all that London has to offer. You can stroll down to Covent garden, enjoy a trip to the theatre and you have a host of restaurants on your door step. The hotel restaurant is also incredible! The hotel has been recently beautifully renovated to the highest standard and is just stunning. The staff were all so helpful and friendly throughout my stay, from being greeted with a welcome glass of prosecco to helping me with my forgotten toiletries, everything was sorted out for me in minutes. I can't recommend this hotel enough!

My wife and I spent an extended time at the Middle Eight hotel in October 2022, celebrating our anniversary. The property is amazing and the location even more so, just at the end of Longacre and a short walk to Covent Garden Market. We stayed in one of the suites which was larger than most flats, with more technology than you normally see in a hotel. They welcomed us with a beautiful cake for our anniversary and handwritten note, just another one of the many special touches. The management, specifically Front-of-house manager Nicola Sacco and the head concierge, Mr. Andrea Massari made our entire stay even more warm and amazing with attention to detail and a number of recommendations and reservations. We took a day trip up to the Northeast coast arranged fully by Mr. Massari and he made sure everything was a great experience. Add to the uniqueness of this property the jazz/music venue in the basement where we took in a show in an intimate setting with table cocktail service, and this is a one-of-a-kind experience. Like many other reviewers, we've stayed at many luxury properties, and overall the Middle Eight stands out because of the personal service, and some of their unique attributes. We travel to London often and this is our new home base.…

Interesting hotel - a little Dubai like, lots of bling. Bedroom was very comfortable and super quiet. Food / bar was not so great. Checked in quite late - around 9. Was told by reception that restaurant was now closed. Went to the bar, told they were open for another hour. Had a steak, supposed to be ribeye but was kind of a sirloin. Med rare was very rare, too much flavour from the grill. Chips good. Breakfast was really weird, no cereals to choose from (one pre-made bowl of granola and fruit which I did t want). Bacon was undercooked and streaky only. Scrambled egg ok. Just all quite strange - a little like it was a soft opening, staff didn’t seem to know exactly what to do. Could be good but feels like they haven’t found their stride yet.

First & foremost the rooms are lovely, this is our third visit back . The location is just perfect. A new girl was there when we got checked in, she was so friendly & defiantly a great asset for the hotel, it was only her fourth day . The only thing i would like to comment on, this stay was for my 60th, and was very disappointed to come back from shopping on the Saturday, to find the room not cleaned/ bed not made & no clean towels. Dirty tea cups etc. A note was left to say we had put on a sign do not disturb. What note & where? for future reference. I truly understand how hard it is to work in hospitality , myself & daughter run a wedding venue with a hotel, so i do appreciate all the hard work. But for me this was truly disappointing. Customer service should be second to none. I now question , would i stay with Middle8 again ? Probably not, just take a little more effort in, talking to your customers. And explain the simple things. I am truly disappointed .…

Dear ruthrG6789DY, thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. It is very sad to here that your experience was spoiled by the do not disturb sign. Following our health & safety policies, we are not able to enter into a room if the room has the do not disturb sign on. This is the reason why your room was not attended. I am sure that maybe the technlogic controls might have been confusing and I do apologise if we have not provided you with the correct information. I would really be honoured if you could give us a second chance to restore your faith in us. Should you plan to visit London in the near future, please do not hesitate to contact us at frontofhousemanagers@middleeight.com. Looking forward to hosting you again. Kind Regards, Nicola Sacco Front of House Manager

You will not receive a warmer welcome in any other hotel across London. We have stayed at many 5* hotels and this is by far our favourite. The staff are so attentive and the hotel is so impressive. Special thank you to Burak for going above and beyond for my family and I. We couldn’t wait to return and booked a stay for my wife’s birthday in March.
