Before I arrived I sent a couple of emails requesting a room with a walk in shower and to check there was a lift due to my mother's walking ability. All responses were received within 15 minutes every time!! Fantastic!! …

Located in Covent Garden, walking distance to many tourist destinations. Helpful staff. Rooms are smallish but really not an issue, given how thoughtfully organized they are. Our room had a kitchenette. We had breakfast in our room most days. I’d definitely stay here or at any of their other locations in the future.

Very well appointed room, and despite being very close to the Strand, the sound proofing meant we could barely hear the traffic.||The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. …

We spent three nights at the Resident Covent Garden and couldn’t have been happier. The staff was always friendly and helpful. When my son left his jacket behind, they went out of their way to ensure that we would get it back. I highly recommend this hotel for the wonderful staff, cleanliness and great location.

Excellent service, the staff was attentive personalized our stay. The room was meticulously clean. Rooms are small but comfortable with lots of nice amenities. The room includes a little kitchenette complete with mini fridge, sink with filtered water, microwave, Nespresso machine, silverware, plates/bowls, cups and wine glasses. The bathroom has a fantastic shower, towel warmer, and a speaker solo you can hear whatever is playing on the TV. Bed is very comfortable, rooms have a/c and heat. All of that is wonderful and enough to make your stay fantastic, but the location will blow you away. Perfect spot, tons of dining options to choose from and just a short walk to all the major London attractions. Cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Enjoyed my 3rd stay at Resident Covent Garden at the end of September with my Daughter and Granddaughter.The room was spacious and benefited from the mini kitchen (fridge, kettle, coffee machine). The bathroom was spotless with Molton Brown toiletries.Enjoyed the complimentary glass of prosecco before heading out to one of several restaurants in Covent Garden (5mins walk away). Staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly. My Granddaughter especially liked staff at reception, maybe something to do with the sweeties on the desk!Hotel is in ideal location for exploring the city.Trafalgar Square, several theatres and Leicester Square all close by. Several underground stations are all less than a 10mins walk. Looking forward to a return visit to the hotel in December.Would highly recommend hotel.
