We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights (Friday to Monday) for a break away in London. My partner had stayed at this hotel before and had highly recommended it. I booked online via the hotel’s website and managed to obtain a really good deal (£125 per room per night including breakfast). All the hotel staff we came into contact... more

Fantastic location to enjoy the nightlife and sightseeing of London. The reception area was quite contemporary but managed to retain the character of this old building. Reception staff were very friendly and knowedgable. Quite a trek to our room (a couple of lift rides and a walkway away), but the room was a good size and had all we needed.... more

We booked this hotel as a 'mystery' hotel on Lastminute, although we'd pretty much guessed which one it was from the description. It cost £120, which wasn't bad for a midweek stay. The receptionist tried hard to flog us an upgrade to the junior suite I declined and got a room which was took two lift journeys and long walk... more

I stayed at the Charing Cross Hotel several years ago, during renovation...and loved the location...but not thrilled with the room. This visit was wonderful....friendly staff (they even remembered me when I returned after a couple of weeks for another night). I would go back any time more

Stayed just this week. Looked at hotel website and was anticipating a very bright, modern boutique hotel. On arrival, Reception lived up to expectation. The common areas although a little in need of some attention were nice and spacious. There were a lot of original features in the hotel which appeared to have been well looked after. Bags were brought... more

The Charing CRoss Hotel is a lovely old-school hotel with a great location near Trafalgar Square and the West End Theater district. If you are in London for just a few days like we were, then you really can't go wrong. The rooms were a perfect size for two, clean, up to date and quiet. The staff was helpful and... more

A very clean hotel, with great standard rooms, asked for first floor as l don't do lifts! the room was large, clean, double glazed windows...... couldn't hear a thing from outside! great selection of tea/coffee and complimentary biscuits! Breakfast was not included in the price. Paid £179 for one... more

We really enjoyed staying at Charring Cross. It is in an excellent location right off Trafalgar Square and right next to Charring Cross Underground and Train station. There is a pharmacy in the building, and several pubs and restaurants within walking distance. You can also walk to The Embankment station in about 3 - 5 minutes. The hotel definitely had... more

Stayed at Charing Cross for 3 nights with my daughter. Room was an Executive type, bit small for our liking, but was clean and tidy. Breakfast was great. Fantastic location being handy to every major tourist attraction. Recommend the Original Bus Tour for those especially with only a few days to see the great city of London. Overall, would go... more
