Hotel was nice and clean, and a very good location. However the breakfast was very poor, certainly not 5 star standards, would not advise paying for it.

"Very poor book in - no explanation of breakfast etc .... Minimal tea and coffee left in room "

Poor book in at reception - told had to pay £50 not explained what for. Not may supplies for tea and coffee in room - could have been better. Best part of Hotel was location - ideal

"Not 5* by any estimation"

1st room awful, hole in bath, lampshades falling apart, marks on walls. Moved rooms, spent the night inhaling 2nd hand cannabis smoke from next door - reported it, concierge just told me to open a window So we had to have the window open all night in freezing temperatures. Staff couldn`t offer refund as the person who can authorise this was on annual leave. Absolutely abismal. Do not stay here - stay somewhere cheaper but nicer.

"Court House hotel anniversary stay"

The courthouse is in a lovely location of London with easy access to all the site. The hotel was advertised as a 5star but I would say that is more of a 3-4 star at best having stayedin many 5 star hotels. Room was spaces but had a adjoining door to the next room so could hear everything the next room was doing. The bathroom let it down as well with half the shower door missing so water end up all over the floor. Soap that had not been replaced from the last occupant. We had the bed and breakfast which was also fine but was a bit cold. For the £369 we paid for a superior room for the night I would expect a lot more from a 5 star hotel. Won`t be visiting again or recommend this hotel will look elsewhere for a stay in London.

Just returned from a stay in this hotel. After speaking to the manager about the full English breakfast or lack of it should I say.No juice.No bowlsNo breadNo baconCold coffeeExtremely bad service was told to sit anywhere, that`s if we could find a clean table.I spoke to the manager he said we could have a refund (£23.75 each. There were two of us) He said because it was a package I had to email and that I would still get a refund.This was supposed to be a 5* hotel therefore I was extremely unhappy when paying for a full breakfast all I was able to have eventually was toast.My booking ref is B1178162Total cost of the booking was £567.38. So not a cheap weekend.I do feel I should also be compensated for this, as it did spoil our break away.RegardsMrs L. Mccracken Sent from my iPad

"Not what the images lead you to believe"

The hotel was nice but not worth the price tag that comes with it. Holes in walls, tiles breaking off, unfinished skirting boards, hard bed etc. Not as posh as pictures.

"Disappointed "

Arrived after 5 hrs travel with reception unable to locate reservation booked through yourselves.Seems the booking was made for arrival the following day,however after much panic and anxiety waiting,the staff gave us our room. Completely shocked at the shabbyness, size and over all standard or room.Awkwardly complained and room changed.Much better but still shabby with dirty curtains, door knob fallen off.Bottle of water smelt so bad my daughter had to stop drinking it.Ckean bedding thankfully with spot on location.NOT 5 star rating and sadly pushing at a 4 star.Needs massive financial injection to bring this back to life.Very sad as this was a special mum daughter trip before major surgery etc...

Nice interior concept, but not 5* in our opinion. The room was small in comparison to other hotels of similar ilk and the breakfast was very much a cheap standard buffet which was disappointing. Front if house staff were great and very helpful. Waitress in the restaurant was brash.

"Would never use this hotel again. Shame hotel is nice but staff dont know what they are doing."

Poor experience. Reception staff did not provide any information of what facilities or restaurants were in the hotel. Constantly asked for information. Was charged for food on my card that i had to get reimbursed as there was no staff in kitchen to cook it. I ordered a snack at midnight. Barman told me my order was put through. Half an hour later when i checked on my order, he told me the staff had gone home. Told me i would not be charged but i stil was. I ordered a cocktail earlier in the day and was given a glass of neat vodka mixed with martinee. It was so not appropriate to have so i left it all and went out instead. Location was good and restaurants n pubs outside all have brillant staff. Came back to the hotel and spoke to the barman about my cocktail and he apologised and said he picked up my glass and knew it was not right as other barman is learning how to make them. This was a waste of money paying for an expensive hotel.

"Lovely convenient hotel "

Love this hotel , so friendly and welcoming and convenient for the Theatre. Room was spotless , bathroom clean and water hot . Some biscuits in the room would have been nice . Breakfast was varied but staff seemed fed up. We weren`t offered anything cooked and didn`t realise until someone else ordered it , that we could have had porridge or omelette and not just the buffet food.

"Very nice and excellent location"

Hotel is in a great location and close to Regent Street and Oxford Street. The only negative would be the annoying bathroom without good water protection in the bath shower which means wet floors . Wire metal soap holders which means. Soap falls through. No iron for clothes out of suitcase. Little things I know but would make life a little easier when paying. Even with the little annoyances would definitely recommend this hotel.

Despite the fact that I had booked for TWO people (including Full Breakfast for TWO), which was FULLY confirmed when I checked in, they tried to argue that I was ONLY entitled to a Full Breakfast for ONE person!! Eventually got it sorted, but it really did Spoil an otherwise Good stay!!

"Excellent location, interesting hotel with a fantastic roof top bar."

A lovely, centrally located hotel with a quirky bar including the holding cells complete with toilet! The roof top bar was a perfect place to relax and soak up London from above after a long day of sightseeing. Very clean room, courteous staff. Absolutely perfect if Carnaby street, Soho, China Town and Covent garden is what you`re after. Just moment from Libertys, Regent and oxford Street and only a 5-10 minute stroll down to Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square. Would definitely re-visit.

"Location is everything."

Comfortable hotel in a prime location. Nice to see that the character of a courthouse has been retained. Small niggles: no loo brush, bathroom ceiling paintwork ropey in our room (114), very good breakfast choice (ask for things like a fried egg, we were not made aware of this) and finally great to have Sky TV but cut down version is not responsive enough. All in all my wife and I enjoyed our stay and will return in the future.

"fab location, great staff"

fantastic location near Oxford Circus tube and the great shops and restaurants of Carnaby St. Very helpful staff including the concierges who helped my teenage daughter log into the hotel wifi. Lovely quiet room, very clean with bonus of Sky tv - only small gripe that there were no bedside lights. Would def stay again.
