Absolutely loved this hotel! The location was perfect for us, we were able to walk everywhere or get to the tube easily. Our room was street side but was not noisy at all. The room was super boujee! Just gorgeous and luxurious. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was exquisite. The shower felt amazing after walking around London all day. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others as well.

We just completed our stay at The Great Scotland Yard Hotel in London and we can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful hotel! First impressions are always important and Marco at the front who checked us in did not disappoint. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed for our stay. The rooms were beautiful, clean and comfortable! The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely! Make sure to include the breakfast option because it will be one of the very best you’ll experience! The entire staff was so helpful and very accommodating. Needless to say this will be the place we will stay when we come back to London! I didn’t even mention the location which is right in the heart of everything you would possibly want to do or see while in London. As I said we will be back!!!!

We had a wonderful time at GSY during our weeklong stay in London. The staff were so welcoming and helpful with our 20 month old toddler. The breakfast at the Yard was also excellent.  …

Beautiful hotel near Trafalgar Square that meets all your needs. When we first arrived we were given a room on the first floor that had only a view of a wall and could not see the sky (keep in mind this building was not designed to be a hotel to begin with but for the prices charged I recommend notifying guests of their view beforehand or providing some sort of discount or compensation for this kind of view as I would almost liken it to a cruise ship room without a window. Alternatively I would consider turning these rooms into offices as they can be highly disappointing for someone traveling to London and possibly a once in a lifetime trip). However we brought this up with the front desk and then following day we were moved to a room with a view overlooking Great Scotland Yard St (we were extremely grateful!!). Otherwise the rest of the hotel including the staff and breakfast was fantastic. Location is superb and a few minute walk from the tube. Would absolutely stay here again but would request a room with a view.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had a truly memorable stay at Great Scotland Yard! The staff provided impeccable service from start to finish, making the experience even more special.The afternoon tea at the parlour was a standout highlight. The menu offered warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and an exquisite selection of pastries. The presentation was as elegant as the flavors were rich, making the whole experience feel wonderfully indulgent.Breakfast at the Yard the next morning did not disappoint either. With a wide selection of freshly baked goods, delicious hot dishes, and fresh juices, it was the perfect way to start the day. The attention to detail in both the food and service was impressive.Overall, Great Scotland Yard provided an unforgettable mix of luxury, charm, and culinary excellence. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier London experience!

This was the last stop of our honeymoon and wow, what a hotel! From the moment we walked in after a long train ride, we were greeted by the bellmen who immediately helped us with our luggage. Stefano at the front desk was amazing. …

Location is great, there are two tube stations within 5 minutes walk. Only a 15-20 minutes walk to Buckingham Palace. Breakfast and dinner at Ekstedt are both excellent. …

The rooms are nice, but the bathroom is exceptionally small. You can't open the shower with the bathroom door open and so on. I actually hit my head on the shower door trying to use the restroom.  …

We highly recommend this extraordinary Great Scotland Yard hotel. We were there for both business and pleasure, and the hotel was one of our absolute favorites. It's very centrally located yet completely quiet and has a boutique hotel feel with a special detective theme woven throughout. Our bed was heavenly. They serviced the room twice/day and the overall service was amazing. Special thanks to Shirley at the front desk who went above and beyond to provide us with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. She really put the extra touch on our visit! Also thanks to the Ishan the bartender in the 40 Elephants Bar for delighting us with the story of the female gang (namesake of the bar). As Hyatt Globalists, we had breakfast included and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the entire team at the Great Scotland Yard for making it such a special experience for us. We've already referred friends to stay there next month!
