Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent
"Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are spotless. The pods are clean and spacious considering theyre pods. Rated the cleanliness 4/5 only because if you move the mattress in the pods to make your bed then you'll see that under the mattress needs some attention. Good selection of snacks and drinks (both alcoholic and soft drinks) in the vending machines in the common area on the ground floor. Coffee is good also from the machines. Plenty of seating to sit down and relax or do some work. WiFi is quite good also. Location is 10/10!"

"Third time here as the hotel is a great base for central London. The staff were all lovely, especially those on the front door and at the luggage room. We had an executive king room which gave us access to the VIP lounge. The lounge has moved since our last visit. We only used it briefly in the mornings and evenings so we can’t comment on other times of the day, but the room is now far too small for the number of guests. The breakfast bites were good as were the drinks but there is no longer a menu for a range of evening snacks. Instead guests are offered one plateful each of a fixed selection of small canapés. The complimentary mini bar in our room contained one beer one can of coke and three bottles of water (for 2 people) and was not refilled after the first day."
