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

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

A great hotel in a great location. Nelsons Column was virtually on our doorstep and Buckingham Palace was only a very short walk , as was the London Eye. The hotel is at Charing Cross railway and Tube station so access is great. No noise in our room from the railway, which was very spacious (family room). The staff were... more

This is a great hotel. Friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast. Their standard is higher than some 5 star hotels we have stayed. The location is great next to the station, possibly a little noisy on the front, but you cannot be right in the action otherwise. A very clean hotel. We booked it through Londonhotels.com who really know their stuff... more

Upon arrival after a long flight from Australia, we were delayed into getting into our room by 2 hours after the scheduled check-in time. When we finally got into a room (not the one we booked but a lesser one) the view out the window was of a down pipe and the wall of the neighbouring building. Finally, after the... more

The good: Great location -- duh! Great first floor public lounge and bar Breakfast was pretty good (although see below) Rates here are generally good compared to the Trafalgar where they have a bit of an attitude... Better rooms than the nearby Waldorf Better location than the nearby Victoria Park Plaza The free in-room tea and coffee set was good.... more
