"Great location but check room standard"

Standard room is very small and basic for a marque hotel in London. Upgrade available for £25 per night worth investing in as website photos are for top level rooms only. Staff very polite and helpful.

Nice hotel was disappointed when we found out the room we were given was empty for a day or two and they would not let us check in early would not have cared if the weather outside was dry but we ended up very wet and when we did one receptionist was little unsure which room to give when the other took a look an said with theatre just give a standard room which was nice but made feel like a cheap customer on a positive note was very helpful after that but it made the stay a little uncomfortable but very central and I will consider staying again.

"Beautiful Hotel"

Only stayed two whole days and one night but it was beautiful with lovely staff. It was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for us and we never had to catch a tube or taxi once whilst staying there as we could walk everywhere. Very happy with our stay.

"Superior Room"

Excellent Hotel, great great location. Had a superior suite with kitchenette because there was 3 of us. Wouldn`t call it superior but had all essentials. Great having ice machine and filtered water to help yourself down the hall and the essential fridge in your room, also microwave if needed. Clean.

Room was small and dark (the windows were high up) and the toilet hadn`t been cleaned. Unable to provide soya milk. One reception staff member was very welcoming but another didn`t have time for us. Ate in the restaurant and the food was bland. Good price for theatre deal but you can spend a fortune on a bottle of wine. Wouldn`t eat there again. Waiters were very friendly and polite but there was a lot of them and very few people eating there so it felt a bit intimidating. Didn`t get a wink of sleep due to noise of Trafalgar square and sirens.

"The Grand"

Excellent in every way. Very friendly staff, easy check in/out, cleanness of hotel all outstanding. We didn`t eat in the hotel but the restaurant looked very inviting. If there has to be improvement comment it would be the tea/coffee machine needed a jug rather that the mugs that wouldn`t fit underneath. We will be visiting this hotel again :-)

"Great location."

Very central location, could get to everywhere we needed to go within 2 minutes from the hotel at Charing Cross tube station. Ideal room for 3 adults. There was a small kitchen with fridge where we could store the drinks we had brought with us.

"Convenient, Comfy and AMAZING service."

We arrived quite promptly after check in times provided and we were told our room wasn`t quite ready, this was then met with, please have a complimentary drink on us. The staff were great, friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and had exactly what we needed for a brief London Theatre visit. We were surprised how close everything was and when we turned into Northumberland Avenue, it was so quiet! Bonus when all you want to do is sleep after a morning of walking around London`s sights I loved the shower in the en suite provided, could have stayed in there all morning! Would 150% come back and stay.

Clean hotel, warm welcome and got in our room early. Staff were helpful. Very disappointed with tea/coffee facilities in the room. Tea was not good so that is probably why you only get two teabags.

This was the first time that our daughters had stayed in a hotel and they loved everything about it. The staff were all very friendly and evening cocktails and breakfast were great. We would definitely stay at The Grand next time we are in London and would recommend the hotel to both friends and family.

"Great location and extremely helpful staff."

This hotel is perfect for visiting all tourist locations right in the centre of London. Convenient for tube and easy to find.Leaving luggage meant we could make the most of two full days. Lots of eating places nearby as well as in the hotel. Very useful to have both fridge and a microwave in the room. This would be great for a short family mini break when eating out for every meal becomes expensive-Tesco metro just on the corner would be an added bonus. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London but especially families.

"Good Hotel, could be improved."

A Lovely hotel in a great location. The room was a good size though the en-suite appeared to be a metal box added in as an afterthought. The water stations were a nice touch but they didn`t actually provide any ice buckets till the morning so that part was literally useless. Same issue with the guest request locker, great idea but needs to be checked and restocked more regularly, by the time I found it all the extra pillows had been taken and it wasn`t restocked till morning. Also a part of the en-suite mirror stand had been broken previously and wedged back in. Not worth the money overall.

"Great location; totally acceptable"

A very comfortable and clean room; particularly impressive bathroom. Slightly cramped and temperamental lifts; reception tiny. But a brilliant location - right in the heart of the West End.
