Great Scotland Yard Hotel London

This is a lovely hotel situated in a very convenient location in the heart of London, ideally placed for many attractions and transport routes. It is also within walking distance of many of the more popular attractions. The decor is subtle and innovative and in the main, the service was excellent. Our room was very small with a small shower room but the bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The breakfast was good with a lot of choice on the buffet and a good selection of hot and cold options prepared to order. We ate in the Ekstedt of the Yard restaurant as it was a special occasion and enjoyed the food and ambience very much.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location. The staff is so welcoming and helpful. Rooms are very comfortable. There is a cozy bar in the lobby and a dining room for grabbing a tea. The gym is very good for a smaller hotel and has all the nicest equipment. Also the lobby smells divine!

We had a lovely stay at the Great Scotland Yard Hotel during a December long weekend trip with friends. Checking in was smooth and welcoming, and we got to sit down! I am an avid fan of sitting during the check-in experience as it doesn’t feel rushed, and the hotel team can properly inform of all that the hotel has to offer. The lobby felt festive with holiday décor, and the more I looked around, the more history I saw all around. Our Premiere Room with a Balcony was slightly smaller than expected but it was nicely designed, with a spacious bathroom (and a great towel warmer). The balcony was nice, even if we would only enjoy it a few minutes each day due to, well, London weather. I loved the amenity with a note written on a card with a photo of a Beefeater taking a selfie, a great souvenir. We didn’t dine on property, but we visited The 40 Elephants bar several times and really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and well‑made cocktails. The location was also a standout, tucked on a quiet street in Westminster just around the corner from busy shops, dining, and just a few blocks from Big Ben. I loved the contrast of slipping from the crowds into a calm street each time we returned. An extra special touch was that there was always a smiling face in the lobby welcoming us back. Overall, the combination of a fantastic location, friendly staff, and thoughtful design made this a very enjoyable stay.

Best hotel in London! Centrally located with amazing staff and a beautifully restored hotel. It was truly a lux expereince. The food and room were superb! My lew favorite hotel!

We stayed for three nights for my wife’s birthday. First off the good. The staff are polite and attentive. The hotel is modern, and has a quirky but contemporary design. We booked a Premiere room and was a fair size for London. Not much of a view, even from the fifth floor but I used to work round the corner and knew there isn’t much to see. The bed was very comfortable and the soundproofing is obviously good as nothing disturbed us. In our room, the toilet was separate from the bathroom but it did contain a modern Japanese one with a built in bidet. Strangely, no towel or place to hang one. The shower was a tiled room rather than a glass enclosure, so plenty of room. The breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice and very good quality. Rather nicely they did leave a piece of cake in the room on my wife’s birthday but the card said it was for me. Now the “bad”. When I booked in, they asked to put a 300 pound hold on my credit card. This is fairly standard these days so I didn’t mind. However, there was a mistake and they ended up charging me for my room twice instead. Luckily I had checked my balance on my app. They did eventually sort but only after chasing it twice. No real apology. Not much in the way of freebies in the room. The usual tea, coffee and water but some biscuits would have been nice. They did supply fresh milk though. We couldn’t work out the air-con and woke up cold on the first night. We turned it up but it got fat too hot. We just asked for it to be turned off in the end.
