The hotel is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of major attractions and close to the tube. The staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, providing excellent service at both the front desk and concierge.Be sure to visit the Wild Monkey Bar for some incredible cocktails!Overall, it’s an ideal spot for first-time visitors to London. Highly recommended and definitely worth a return visit!

Great experience for our honeymoon. Upon arriving, they upgraded our room. This hotel was a great London location. The staff was very nice and friendly. We had breakfast there and did the buffet and it was very good with lots of options. The water in the shower was also nice and hot. Would stay here again.

A fabulous hotel for theatre land and Covent Garden. Great recognition for Hilton members, With Gold status I booked a twin and was allocated a family room so we had. A double bed each - and it was incredibly comfortable.In the morning the breakfast was above and beyond my expectations. The status benefit is complimentary continental breakfast and the hotel provided an extensive hot and cold buffet with several cook to order options.Everyone we spoke to from the doorman to reception and the servers at breakfast were happy and friendly.A brilliant stay, we will be back.

Upon arrival at 14:50, we checked in and were told the room isn't ready. We expected that as check-in is only from 15:00 so we were happy to wait at the lobby and have a drink to relax. …

Booked a queen deluxe afternoon tea breakfast package as a birthday treat for my partner. It was terrible from check in to check out. The customer experience was appalling and the venue wasn’t even busy. …

Unsure on rooms as didn't stay there, however the rest of the decor, staff and bar areas were immaculate!We attended here for the Be our guest afternoon tea and I cannot recommend this experience to anyone else enough! It was magical, beautiful and the flavours exploded from every dish!We had Olga as a server and her knowledge, demeanor and lovely nature made the whole experience a time to remember. The decor is fantastic, the harpist Cindy was incredibly talented and I would definitely recommend coming here to any Disney fan.Food wise, the Red pepper soup was the best soup I've eaten anywhere and all my family members agreed, the sandwiches were lovely however I'm not a fish fan, so I kind of wish I had requested that to be swapped out. The dessert is the stand out! With Chip's suprise and the accompanied food, it was outstanding!It was my girlfriends 30th birthday and Olga brought out a cake and sang for her, it was lovely!My only recommendation is between the harpists breaks, it maybe nice to get some Disney music or acoustic Disney music in the background because the jazzy style doesn't fit the rest of the experience.Highly recommend and couldn't thank you enough!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a brilliant stay at The Waldorf. I am a Hilton member but found this hotel exceptionally friendly and welcoming.The location is fabulous, very close to covent garden and many theatres plus close to Temple Street underground.Breakfast was out of this world, hot and cold buffet options but you can pick from a menu and have something nice delivered freshly cooked to the table.We enjoyed a cocktail or two at the bars too which are great for people watching and also lovely service. .We stayed in room 430 and it was very quiet. The room could have a few additional features - better coffee (only instant), smart TV perhaps as we struggled to connect our subscriptions but otherwise it was very clean and comfortable.We will definitely stay again and would recommend.
