Welcome to ME London, an ultramodern, exceptionally chic luxury hotel where conventional English charm meets contemporary glamour. ME London owes its sleek architectural design and lustrous façade to Foster and Partners, founded by Sir Norman Foster. Set along historic Strand in Covent Garden, this former site of Gaitey Theatre, Strand Music Hall and Marconi House commands attention with its highly regarded history as well as its modern flare. A member of the esteemed ME by Melia collection of contemporary resorts and urban hotels, this line of experience-based personality hotels is aimed at the traveler with progressive sensibility.

The ME London Hotel certainly has some appealing features. Its location is excellent, right between the London School of Economics and King’s College London, making it convenient for both academic and professional visits. The building is modern, and the rooms themselves are stylishly designed and comfortable in appearance. Unfortunately, the positives stop there. My room was located on the 9th floor, directly below the rooftop bar. On the night of an event, the music did not just play past midnight. At 3:30 a.m., the DJ turned the volume up to such a level that the walls and furniture were shaking. This was not background noise; it was nightclub-level music directly above my room. The music continued until the early hours, culminating in an extra-loud session toward the end of the private event. Quite frankly, the primary purpose of a hotel is to provide a place to sleep. At ME London, sleeping was simply impossible. No matter how modern or stylish a hotel may appear, it fails entirely if it cannot provide rest to its guests. Housekeeping was another disappointment. On the first day of my stay, my room was not serviced until turndown - well below the standard expected of a five-star hotel. Breakfast was perhaps the most alarming aspect. On Sunday morning, I informed the staff of my dairy allergy. They served me Greek yogurt and assured me it contained no dairy. Only after I insisted did they check with the chef and admit the obvious. Moments later, they brought avocado with feta cheese - once again, dairy. Such mistakes reflect not only incompetence but also a troubling disregard for guest health and safety. Overall, while the location and design are attractive, the ME London fails on the most fundamental aspects of hospitality. A hotel where one cannot sleep, where basic service standards are neglected, and where dietary requirements are mishandled…

I really appreciate the proactive support from Pavel. Gave me an immediate solution to a work challenge and printing of documents.

I am a guest at the ME Hotel in London. I am appalled by lack of security. Anyone can walk in to the elevator bank without being checked. Sometimes at night there is a security person by the elevators but not always. and your keycard is never checked.

Just returned from a one night stay at the ME London. A friend and I had tickets to a show in the theatre district and the ME is in the perfect location, minutes from all the theatres. Check in and check out we’re both nice and smooth with very attentive and friendly staff. The Hotel is lovely, with a black and white art deco vibe and very modern. Very clean and with all the amenities you would expect from a 5* Hotel. The bed was very comfortable and you can tell the pillows and bed linen are high quality. I only had 2 very minor ‘gripes’ during my stay; 1; operating the lighting in the room is so modern and high tech, I couldn’t turn one of them off! Pressed every switch I could find in the room and still couldn’t get it to go off and so ended up having to call maintenance to come and show me how to get it off! When he came he said everyone has problems with it as you have to double tap some invisible button on the side to get it to work. Would never of figured that out by myself! 2; the other minor issue is the hotel is also home to a bar/club on the roof and the music is loud and goes on until quite late, which is difficult to sleep through if you happen to have a room nearby. Both things were relatively minor to me in the grand scheme of things and I otherwise really enjoyed my stay and would stay again.
