Dark and claustrophobic hallways.
Rahi Y.

I had great experience staying at The Hoxton for four nights during April. Overall I am happy with my booking. Pros first. Location is central to many of the tourist destinations such as Covent Garden and China Town. Also The Hoxton is connected to Heathrow Airport via Elizabeth line and just two blocks away from the Tottenham Tube Station. All staffs from registration to house keeping to the bar/restaurant were supper nice, friendly and very helpful. I had a mid-sized room which was big enough to spread all my stuff and was roomy enough for two travelers. My room was clean upon my arrival with up to date furniture. Heating system was working great. Shower and bathroom was spacious and supplied with all the necessities. My room was quiet and provides me with great night sleep. Now features that need to improve. As other reviewers mentioned, for me the biggest let down was the lobby. During weekdays from 7am to late afternoon the lobby is work space for people who are working remotely. There is no single sit for travelers who are staying at the hotel and pay premium. This is not fair. Only open section is the restaurant which you have to order food. Hallways are very dark with very dark colors which can use much better lighting. To me hallways are claustrophobic. Also we can use a power outlet in the restroom next to the mirror for hair dryer and shaving use. I took a star off just for the lobby situation. Overall I like this hotel, will I stay here again? Maybe not since there are plenty of other good hotels exist in London.

A beautiful, artsy hotel that's right in the heart of the Holborn area. Super walkable location, beautiful lobby, and bar area. Breakfast is included with certain rooms and is spectacular. Rondo (their restaurant) makes some amazing breakfast options ranging from coffees, avocado toast, porridge, and is always consistently fresh. One of my favorite perks of staying at this hotel has been the breakfast. A few negatives of the hotel are little things like you need to go to the lobby to ask for some basic necessities. Ex: hand soap, clothing iron, house keeping   You need to specify whether or not you want house keeping at the front desk otherwise nobody will come during the duration of your stay. The TV is located at a weird angle to the bed. Room has certain things like a safe, mini fridge, radio, and hangers. Shower is also a little poorly designed -- the glass door doesn't capture all of the water causing a mess in the bathroom.   - Shoebox rooms literally are the sizes of shoeboxes so be warned. - One elevator has been broken all week (beginning of October) so it takes an - extremely long time - Housekeeping must be requested - No hand soap in the bathroom - Breakfast is included with only some rooms -7-10 min walk to the TUBE

Loved this hotel! They have the cutest lounge cafe downstairs and a great restaurant/bar as well! I will say the rooms are on the smaller side but everything was great. Would definitely come again!

The bill.

We just had drinks at the lobby bar...an Irish Coffee (£13) and a glass of Perrier Jouet Brut (£16.) Everyone, I mean everyone, is on an electronic device in this bar...phones, laptops, or iPads. Not much socialization, interaction, or noise with this crowd. One person taking an entire sofa and will not move to allow other customers to sit kind of crowd. The Rondo is touted as super stylish, seriously cozy, and has warmth and charm. Hmmmm. My Irish Coffee was decent and did the job in a cold, windy winter London Sunday. I can't really recommend unless you have work to do in your laptop!!

Front desk...ALL kind and helpful!!

They were so old that they were stiff and not soft, and anytime anyone moved, the springs made noise enough to wake everyone up throughout the night if you moved one tiny bit. The hotel rooms were TINY. The bathroom was TINY. There was barely any space for your suitcase. We wouldn't stay here again if you paid us. We stayed at several London hotels during our trip (we moved around a bit) and this was by far the worst hotel we were at. Hard pass.

Can I have a map? The response was , " no we don't have any, we're waiting for a delivery ". What kind of hotel does not have a map?? Better yet, what's wrong with management who can't make copies until the delivery comes?? Ok, no maps and inept staff. What else is wrong with this place???? The third floor smells of mold- nothing is visible but it stinks from one end of the hall to the other- noticeable as soon as you get out of the elevator. The room- ok size, poor air conditioning- they did bring a fan to us, dated, and in need of a thorough cleaning. Housekeeping is dismal. The beds are not made- the blanket/ duvet cover is smoothed out but bottom sheets are not. Dirty glasses are not replaced. Breakfast was good- well stocked, good variety. In summary- a very unpleasant stay in a dated, dirty "hotel" with poorly trained staff and management who doesn't care. I will not stay at any IHG properties in the future.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendliest staff who checked us in with no issues. We were offered cocktails, we were given a brief tour, and we were given London suggestions based on our likes and dislikes. The hotel itself is stunning. You don't get that stuffy cookie cutter hotel feeling... it's chic and artsy and fun. The rooms were incredible. The amenities plentiful and the utmost quality. And the art... the art is everywhere and it's a vibe. The hotel location is conveniently located just a block from the river Thames. It's also a short walk to the Tate Modern, Burrough Markets, Flibe Theater, the London Eye, Big Ben, etc. for anything else you're a short walk from many train stations (Black Friar, Waterloo, etc). You can also get a river cruise nearby. While we were mostly in our room just to sleep. The rooms were so fancy yet inviting. There is neat art hanging on the walls. There's complimentary chips (crisps) and chocolates in the cabinets near the mini fridge. The mini fridge is stocked with canned waters. There's also closet space, an iron, a fancy new Nespresso machine, tea options, a safe, mini fridge, etc There's a gym, a working art gallery and work space, a hip bar, and a delightful restaurant that serves both dinner and a breakfast that includes a delicious buffet. One day we were out and we came back to our room only to find that we had a bottle of champagne waiting on ice, truffles, and a thoughtful card from the staff. Another day we ran into a staff member near the hotel (not at work) who gave us more suggestions and told us that they wanted to comp our breakfast for the last couple days of our trip Some tips: Take advantage of the Mon-Thurs wine happy hour on the second floor. There is a lovely lounge and the wine pours freely for an hour. Mingle with the staff and other guests. Ask the staff for local recommendations. Use the carafe water stations on each floor to bring water to your room. There is stilled and sparkling water options on tap. And in the morning as you're leaving feel free to pick up canned water (stilled or sparkling) on your way out. Also, if it's raining there are complementary umbrellas you can borrow on your way out. The Bankside Autograph Collection is an incredible experience. There are so many little touches that make you feel like you're not only in the best of hands, but that the staff has gone above and beyond to make you feel like you're royalty. I will definitely be back here. I can't stop raving about our experience. Please. Don't waste your time with other lodgings. This is where you should stay. Cheers!!

Having not gotten much sleep at all, we were tired and a little apprehensive about what we would do to kill time before check in, which is normally at 3pm. We were hopeful we could get early check in (depending on availability of course) maybe a few hours earlier if we asked nicely... As it turns out, we headed to the hotel to drop off our bags at least but were very pleasantly surprised to find we were able to check in immediately, and it was like 8:30am. Amazing. Got to our room and took a nap right away. Hotel and room was beautiful, trendy, artsy. Our room had great black out curtains and the bed was very comfortable. Water, coffee/tea and snacks in the room were all complimentary. Conveniently located by Blackfriars station and a grocery/convenience store for any needs. Located in a quieter area, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but still close to major sites a short walk away. Also need to comment on customer service. Front desk staff were very friendly, professional, and helpful. They did a great job making us feel cared for during our stay.

The service could have been better. The best service we'd received was from Housekeeping when we would call to request extra towels or toiletries. The front desk staff - no smiles, inefficient and I love that one of them asked me to fetch my own luggage in their storage area. They'd held our bags since our room wasn't ready at check-in - Imagine if I'd been a crook and had taken bags that weren't even mine?! She didn't even bother to check if the numbers on my ticket matched what was actually on the luggage. I DEFINITELY COULD HAVE TAKEN SOMEONE ELSE'S BAGS IF I WANTED TO. Overall, our 3 night stay was quiet. No complaints with noise, the room was small but immaculate. The toilet paper is one ply and you go through an entire roll in one day - which explains why we had more interaction with housekeeping than normal. Would we stay here again? Probably not.

September 25, 2024…read more We stayed here using our Hilton Honors points for five nights with a sixth night free, and were upgraded from a standard to a superior room due to our Hilton Diamond status. Our room overlooked a quiet side street on the British Museum side, and came with a combination shower/bath bathroom including a cloth heater for drying clothes, very useful as we had quick drying socks and underwear for our two week stay in London and New York City. The bed was two twin beds side by side, so I didn't have to worry about the wife pulling the covers off of my side of the bed. Stayed here a second time starting April 22, 2025 for 5 nights. Stayed on the opposite side of the hotel in a superior room, with two windows instead of on one, complete with morning sunshine, as no tall buildings to block our view. Room came with at least four USB charging ports, so didn't need a plug converter for our cell phones nor notepads. A laptop would have required a plug converter to recharge. And the bed was a true queen size bed, and not two twins pushed together. Room was 12' x 12', and the bathroom was 10' x 6' with shower only. Huge bathroom for European hotel. Room came with dorm size mini refrigerator, and electronic safe, along with a 24" flat screen TV, puny by American sizes. Very quiet, even though we were next to the service elevator. Both stays came with chocolate chip cookies, water, and free buffet breakfast for Hilton Silver, Gold and Diamond members. We ended up paying 1088 GBP for four nights in a superior room, and getting the fifth night free due to spending $15000 on our American Express Hilton Honors card. Seems pricey at almost $354 a night, but it includes a 20% VAT, and the reservations were made 5 months in advance. Could have gotten a standard room for a single night at the last moment for half that price. We earned 40, 000 Hilton Honors points, or $240 due to our Hilton Diamond status, for our stay using the Amex credit card. Place in the middle of the action on a busy street. According to Tripadvisor, 280 restaurants and 91 attractions within 0.3 miles Piccadilly line tube stations in Holborn and Russell Square within 0.3 miles bracket the hotel. Can take the Piccadilly line directly from Heathrow Airport to Holborn or Russell Square without transferring for about $7.70 per person using contactless credit card. Uber would be about $70, and cab $90.

A cozy long sized bed and sofa to lounge when we needed to chill without lying down. There was ample closet space and some shelving to putting away clothes. The desk area was very nice and roomy with a nice style about it. The lamps had good lighting that was warm and inviting. The bathroom had good water pressure and sink space to place all toiletries. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. They allowed us to use the amenities at their spa when our room wasn't ready and we needed to clean up from the all-day travels we had spent since the day before coming over from the States. Staying at the hotel is an experience from the fact that this Victorian building used to be the original train station for St. Pancras. They have repurposed the high-ceiling gothic interior that originally served for the meeting and ticketing offices for the main lobby area and the Booking Office 1869 bar. The grandeur of the design is allowed to fully take place in the superb elements of fine dining and comforting relaxation. The Booking Office Bar & Restaurant was a mainstay for us during our time at the hotel. It's difficult not to want to check out the Victorian splendor of that interior while enjoying delicious cocktails and food at the bar or one of the nearby tables. While we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the Victorian Punch Hour that was at 5:05 each afternoon, it is something of heard to check out if you can. In addition to the Booking Office, there is the Hansom in the lobby, the Seasonal Terrance for wine hour, MI + ME, and the Gothic Bar. The latter of which was also quite magical with its Victorian design and grand luxurious interior with darkly warm lighting and creative cocktail menu. Located next to King's Cross Station in addition to St. Pancras International Station, you have immediate access to the high-speed rail system that takes you as far north as Scotland and south throughout the heart of Europe. You have one of the central hubs to multiple Underground rail stations that can take you all through Central London and its outskirts. You are also a very short walking distance from both the British Library and the British Museum. Like literally across the street close. The St. Pancras was an excellent choice for a hotel during our stay in Central London. I hope we can return again when set our course back across the pond.

This year I found the Rosewood and was immediately intrigued by their afternoon tea styled after Japanese wood block paintings. The tea is served in their mirror room, which is very elegant with hundreds of mirrors decorating the ceiling. To stay with the Japanese theme, the traditional tea sandwiches were replaced with amuse bouche that were definitely the best savory items at all of the afternoon tea venues I tried. The rice cracker with smoked salmon was delightful, as was the scallop. After the savory portion they brought out a miniature Japanese cheesecake with yuzu, matcha, and chocolate which was stunningly delicious. The pastries, which are arguably the star of the show are brought out in a decorative box which is opened to reveal three works of art. They were beautifully done, but more style than substance with the flavors not living up to the rest of the menu. The tea menu was comprehensive and I enjoyed all of the teas I tried. It was a bit hard deciding sometimes, because many of the tea descriptions spent so much time sharing how rare and fancy they were that they ran out of space to describe the actual flavor profiles. At the end of the meal they brought me a small box with one sachet of tea to take home, which was a lovely treat. The Rosewood put on a solid afternoon tea.

(When I say this little Asian woman played her SOUL out!!! She played "muzak" versions of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and many more. Truly a delight!

Just because you review security cameras outside our room, doesn't mean she didn't stuff it in her bra inside the room. This hotel stay cost us $8,000 USD for a 4 night stay.
