I work in London and sometimes have to stay over if I'm attending late night functions. Some Central London Hotels - even expensive ones - are quite disappointing. However, The Charing Cross Hotel was rather grand, clean and comfortable - and in a good location, especially for visitors to the city. Within walking distance of Covent Garden, Leicester Square, the... more

Arrived at 1:30pm when checkin was at 2pm, after an overnight flight from the States. Front desk staff (Marius) was rude and arrogant. The hotel had a line of guests checking in half hour before the "official time", they were getting checked in and receiving room keys. I was told my room was not ready yet and to wait in... more

Great location within walking distance of theatres and Covent Garden. Pleasant room and really lovely area for breakfast. The only minor thing that could have been better is that, as usual, hotels seem incapable of serving tea that is hot as opposed to lukewarm. Everything else was excellent. more

On our trip for the NFL International game - Chargers vs Saints - we had a large group coming together from all over Europe. I wanted us to be central in London, but also affordable.

We were not in the main part of the hotel, our room was over a walkway in another building. The room was very tired, dark and dingy, and really noisy at night as we were over a pub. We felt very let down and felt we should've been notified that our booking was not for the main hotel. We were... more

Went here with my husband and friends for our friend's birthday. On arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite, which we took, it was only a few pounds extra but 'wow'! Would definitely do that again. The hotel, and staff (apart from the Bar) were excellent. Bar: The Staff couldn't really be bothered to bring your drinks to... more

I stayed two nights at this hotel and was impressed. The location is excellent, close to Trafalgar Square, the rooms are nicely furnished and big enough withut being huge. Helpful staff and excellent breakfast in awesome period dining room. more
