The architecture of the building is stunning but was left disappointed with the rooms. The rooms were basic and needed new decorating and the desk and wardrobe were battered and chipped away the windows out were dirty so the view of The Shard and The Square were a bit unclear. Slightly disappointed at the lack of a bath but the shower area was clean and fine. The location is amazing right in the center. Just be mindful nothing is cheap in London and while local cafe or bars look lovely the standard of food doesn’t match the cost, head for the back streets.

We stayed at the Grand for our anniversary weekend. The hotel is in a perfect location for all things central London. Cleanliness and covid protocols were very good yet unintrusive. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend staying here, it is amazing value for money for the comfort and location.

My sister and I took our brother to London for his 40th birthday (and first ever visit to the capital) and we were so impressed with The Grand!! Fantastic staff - particularly Nalin and Dalia who couldn’t do enough for us Lovely rooms - spacious, clean, fresh with lovely bedding and super comfy beds. location - absolutely spot on. on the door step if you look left you’re looking at Nelsons column on Trafalgar Square. facilities - a vending area with fresh chilled water, ice chips and empty bottles for us to fill and take back to the room. I’ve never seen this before and it was brilliant. value - exceptional. we would stay here again in a heart beat. hotel itself - grand reception room which smelled lovely!! clean, tidy.

Location is excellent at this hotel no need for any public transport, right by Trafalger Square. 5 minutes around the corner for Whitehall, Downing Street & Westminster. 5 minutes for The Mall, we saw Changing of The Guard twice during our stay, just be on The Mall from 10.30 on Monday, Weds, Friday & Sunday. Walk through the park on The Mall to Horseguards. Theatres are all walking distance. Breakfast at the hotel we thought was a bit pricey £15 each for full English, we found a Wetherspoons on our last morning up in Leicester Square full breakfast £7 with unlimited tea/coffee. We will definitely return to this hotel if we ever come back to London and will recommend it to our friends
