The hotel is stunning. The apartments are massive and clean. The only complaint I have is the heat of the apartment. It was a million degrees without any kind of heating source being on. No way could you sleep at night. Air conditioning is definitely needed in the rooms.

Would recommend. Lovely rooms, comfy beds and beautiful inside. Really good location less than a 5minute walk from Piccadilly station. Went for a hen party and they decorated the room for us too and left party bags. Check out was 11 so didnt feel too early the next day. Everywhere was nice and clean. Cutlery and crockery were a bit sparse in our apartment but wasn't a problem and you could easily ask for more if needed.

Attending training event. Room is small but has character and is functional. Location is great and staff are polite and attentive. Buffet lunch a little on the posh side for me but it was fine. I heard the trainer say the rooms were reasonably well kitted out but can't comment on cost.

A wonderful example of a modern hotel. I stayed here two nights for a training course and could quite happily have stayed longer. I had no issues whatsoever with noise, which is odd given how many people that was an issue for according to these reviews. The exterior and interior views were both lovely, and the stag were very helpful.

I attended a work event in the downstairs function room at The Place Apart'hotel.The hotel is well located, just five minutes from both Piccadilly station and Piccadilly Gardens, so couldn't be easier to get to.The function room that we had was big. Staff were attentive but discrete, topping up water and table supplies quietly. Lunch was good quality and there was plenty of it, albeit a slightly odd assortment / grouping of food.Can't comment on hotel rooms, as stayed elsewhere overnight.

Mixed feelings about this place after a midweek stay last week. I was given a complimentary upgrade to a penthouse room, which indeed was an incredible room (two double rooms, two bathrooms, two balconies and a large kitchen/living area).However, the feeling of luxury unfortunately wore off as I found that the toilets were dirty and the toilet seat up. Had a good nights sleep and given the free upgrade I cant complain too much, but just wish the lack of cleanliness hadnt put a dent what I hoped would be an excellent stay.

Wonderful venue. Had our wedding here, staff were polite and friendly. Food was wonderful, all the guests commented on it. Venue is lovely and we all in all had an amazing day without a hitch. Lyndsey the events coordinator was a pleasure to deal with :) 10/10

I went to a conference here and have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The room was large and clean, the food was amazing, for a buffet it was top class! The staff were helpful and cheerful and there was a essence of pride from everyone there. I really do recommend The Place, thank you for such a great time.

4* reception and lobby area, however 2* rooms. This place has the potential to be great but unfortunately the rooms have been poorly designed given the large space they have within.The overall decor and finishing is very poor in the rooms and in need of serious updating and modernising. Bathrooms are terrible, shower and bath facilities are about 2 decades old...Come on, seriously, people want much more, and deserve much more given the price you charge.

Had our end of year ball at this hotel. Service was good and staff were helpful. Food looked good but was pretty mediocre and wine was expensive. Beers were all some own brand which was both expensive and bad tasting. Venue itself is nice and staff were good, I would expect a higher quality of food and drink for the price.
