Hotel 41

London City Centre

10/10 Excellent

I wasn't sure about booking this hotel, as I'd never heard of it. However it was amazing. It is small but that actually adds to the experience. We usually prefer larger hotels but this was truly 5*. It really feels like a special place. The staff all get the balance of attentive & friendly right. If we needed anything they seemed to arrive at just the right time. But they were never hanging around us. We stayed in the conservatory suite, well worth pushing the boat out for this, as the...

NoMad London

London City Centre

10/10 Excellent

The interiors are fantastic and staff were exceptional. Mini bar prices were questionable. £100 for half a bottle of red wine? And food and drink prices in the restaurant were very over priced in relation to what we ate. This is NOT the Chateau Marmont yet the Momad thinks it can demand the same prices. Plus, Common Decency, the once hip club in the basement is now just a very average hotel bar. Overall, the Nomad is unique for London, with great staff and attentive service. But I would suggest...

10/10 Excellent

Although I have stayed at 5 star hotels on several occasions, I was amazed by the standard of service of this hotel. All the hotel staff were extremely polite and gave the true meaning to the word "valued" customer. From the first time I entered the hotel it was a different experience all together. Despite the good service at other 5 star hotels, I could always find a small detail missing. I am not picky, but when it comes to top service I know what to expect, and notice when something, as small...

We enjoyed our stay at the Haymarket Hotel so much last year that we returned again this year. The staff are amazing. Very friendly, helpful and highly professional. The decor is stunning. The hotel has a lovely light colourful ambience about it giving it a relaxing and refreshing atmosphere. The location is perfect for sightseeing, shows and dining out. But our favourite thing was going for a pre breakfast jog along the Mall, now that was really special.
