    expansive buffet breakfast
    long registration lines

    The expansive buffet breakfast layout was impressive and satisfying!

    The long registration lines made check-in a hassle.

    comfortable bed
    central location
    hot water

    Can't recommend highly enough for a short interlude.

    Simple room, comfortable bed, with a 20-minute walk to the theatre and consistent hot water in the bathroom.

    Couldn’t have been happier.

    delicious breakfast
    super helpful staff

    Family with children, a suitable option

    This place has a great breakfast! I was given a full English breakfast for the weekend. It hit the spot after a long night. The staff was also super helpful. I had issues with the heater but they brought me a dryer in no time.

    It was kind of pricey, but acceptable for what you get.

    location advantage
    lengthy check-in
    insufficient soundproofing

    Prime location near attractions, efficient check-in process, large and well-organized dining area

    Lengthy check-in process could use improvement!!! Insufficient soundproofing made it difficult to enjoy peace in rooms, along with limited number of elevators contributing to chaos during busy times!!!

    perfect location
    noisy hallway

    Great location and friendly vibes!

    Spent 8 nights with friends, and it was nice! The room was spacious enough, perfect for our stay. The staff were super friendly and always willing to help us out. Woburn Place is busy but tons of food options around. Just a bummer that we could hear a lot from the hallway and rooms nearby.

    spacious family room
    great location
    limited activities

    This hotel is a perfect base for family city breaks! We loved the spacious Family Room, which easily accommodated our large family and pet. The location is great too, just a short distance from Covent Garden for shopping and dining.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly activities available.

    good value hotel with room for improvement

    The breakfast offered a great variety and was cooked to perfection every morning. My room was spacious compared to others I’ve seen. The luggage service was efficient, making check-in and check-out seamless.

    Not the cheapest option available.

    quiet room
    minimal amenities

    great location but basic amenities

    The staff exhibited warmth and attentiveness throughout our stay, adding a personal touch to our experience. Our room was located in a quieter part of the hotel, which allowed for restful nights.

    The offered amenities felt quite minimal and left room for improvement.

    impressive breakfast
    comfortable beds
    noisy hallways
    inconsistent wi-fi
    room decor needs improvement

    The breakfast selection was impressive, featuring home-baked bread and a well-coordinated staff who efficiently managed the busy restaurant. Beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the bathroom's high-powered shower was a delightful surprise, enhancing the overall experience. noise levels in the hallways could be disruptive, and Wi-Fi connectivity was inconsistent during the stay. more attention to room decor would improve the atmosphere significantly.

    great location
    helpful staff
    comfy bed
    noise issues
    small bathroom

    the location was so convenient for getting around london, and the staff were really sweet n helpful. the room may have been small but the bed was large n super comfy. had a kettle issue, but they fixed it real quick once i asked. loved that i could store my luggage after checking out n just chill for the afternoon.

    the noise from the busy road was annoying for light sleepers, and the bathroom could've been bigger.

    ideal location
    breakfast buffet
    street noise
    lack of air conditioning

    The property was ideally placed, making it easy to explore local attractions, and the breakfast buffet stood out as a highlight. noise from the street was a consistent disturbance, and the rooms lacked air conditioning, which made for a warmer atmosphere than preferred.

    comfortable bed
    spacious room
    early morning noise

    After a long night out, I found the comfortable bed super welcoming and the room was spacious! I loved chilling by the pool and enjoying the cozy bar area in the evenings. The only hiccup was some early morning noise that made it tricky to catch enough sleep, but overall, I really enjoyed my stay! 😌

    central location
    easy access

    explore iconic landmarks and parks within walking distance

    During my stay, I loved that it was just a quick 500 meters from the British Museum and a pleasant stroll to Piccadilly Circus, making city exploring so easy and enjoyable.
