NoMad London

We loved our stay at the nomad London. We booked we are Hilton. The breakfast day is absolutely amazing. The hotel is centrally located right by the opera. Highly recommend.

Finding a quality 5-star hotel in central London is not difficult, but finding one like NoMad with its superb service, quirky design and uniqueness is something else. NoMad is located in the heart of super-busy Covent Garden and theatre district, directly across from the Royal Opera House main entrance. It’s been lovingly converted from the old Bow Street Magistrates Court and Police Station. The hotel is a real art experience with the walls lined with modern and varied art pieces, plus the restaurant which is located under the sky-high atrium is beautifully appointed. We had breakfast there during our 10-night stay and the service and food was excellent every time. All of the staff were the friendliest and most attentive we’ve come across in any hotel anywhere in the world. Check-in was fast and easy after a long flight from Australia. We must single out Andrea on reception who was just the nicest person. She helped us with our bags, explained everything about the hotel, and even arranged a bottle of champagne to be delivered to our room to celebrate an anniversary. Thank you so much, Andrea. We were always farewelled and greeted at the door every day and no request was too difficult. We booked our stay on Hilton Honors points. As a Gold member our room was upgraded to a Parlour Suite which is just the most beautiful room with a separate lounge. Water pressure in the shower is outstanding as other reviewers have remarked. Nothing worse than dribbly slow hotel showers! A full ala carte cooked breakfast up to the value of £70 (for a couple) was also included as part of the Hilton Honors Gold status. £70 per day is more than enough to cover anyone’s breakfast needs, but for a ten-night stay the menu can be a little repetitive. The barista coffees were excellent. Our Italian maître whose name escapes me paid great attention to making sure coffees were excellently prepared. Fresh flowers were placed on each breakfast table. Some reviewers have remarked on the dark corridors. If you are used to bright corporate hotels than yes it may appear dim, but the ambience and design is truly beautiful. Some of the doors are from the women’s cells and even original jail signs have been preserved in some guest rooms. The library is a lovely oasis from the chaos in the streets outside. Our room on the first floor was very quiet and we didn’t hear any noise from the street or other rooms. If your room is being cleaned or you just want to regroup before heading out, there are comfortable sofas and tables where you can work from. It can get crowded at peak time, but you can prebook a couch or table for a specific time. Next to the library is Side Hustle, one of the THE best cocktail bars we have ever been to. It has just won ‘Best International Hotel Bar 2025’ in the world at the 19th annual Spirited Awards. Try and get a bar stool at the bar and you can watch the amazing bartender/mixologists at work. The tapas menu is also exquisite and reasonable priced considering the location. In the past we have stayed at the wonderful Trafalgar St James. The Trafalgar is also excellent and has a great location. It’s probably better for bus options and proximity to Charing Cross, but NoMad is only a brief walk to the Covent Garden Underground. Buses are best accessed at Aldwych, a few minute’s walk south. It really is useful to have Hilton status. Reviewers of other Hilton partner hotels in London such as Flemings have remarked that Hilton status is often not recognised at partner hotels. Of course if the hotel is full or you stay in high season, an upgrade may not be available, as it was for us in Paris at Hilton’s beautiful Le Narcisse Blanc. We can wholly recommend NoMad for travellers looking for something different from the usual corporate and traditional style London hotels. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We chose Nomad mainly due to its proximity to West End, and Covent Garden. Decided to upgrade to a suite on arrival and glad we did! The Hotel is very cool, opulent and stylish, and all the Staff were extremely friendly. We opted for a Brunch in Atrium restaurant which was delicious, paired with a couple of cocktails! The suite was very spacious with a separate lounge, large bathroom and incredible shower! The building itself is steeped in history, as it is the old Magistrates Court and Police Station of Bow Street, and as such you can gain access to the Museum via the Hotel itself Situated in the thick of Covent Garden, about a 5 minute walk from the Tube and only a 10minute walk to Theatres. Dozens of options for places to eat and drink all within a stones throw. Part of the Hotel lobby is The Library for quiet drinks, and also another bar ‘Side Hustle’ right next door We also walked to The Savoy (10minutes) to have drinks at the American Bar. Would highly recommend!

We recently visited the hotel street level bar and were warmly welcomed. The bar is decorated with images and photographs depicting the colourful and intriguing history of the buildings. We enjoyed two glasses excellent wine and the staff were courteous and the service was excellent. An ideal venue for a pre theatre drink or dinner.

This is truly a 5 star experience in the heart of London!! Location is amazing right in the middle of covent garden. Whether you’re looking to see the major attractions or grab a unique bite to eat, this location made it very easy to get around by any mode of transport. The hotel itself is beautiful with amazing attention to decoration. It is also historically notable as it used to be the Bow street prison. You can learn more about it at the museum attached to the hotel, and admission is free for hotel guests. The room itself is very comfortable. There is a decorative fireplace. The bathroom has heated floors. The bed is very comfortable. The sound insulation is actually quite good despite being in the center of London. The most notable is the service! Everyone from front desk to concierge to housekeeping to the restaurant staff were fantastic! They were very friendly and helpful and accommodated any requests. Overall I’m very impressed and would stay here again! Highly recommend!
