Beautiful room, luxiouriously appointed, spacious, very comfortable king size bed, excellent central location, with a great price off tripadvisor. One of the nicest hotels and best hotel experiences I have ever had. The windows even open, which dried the clothes that we couldn't fit on the provided towel/clothes rack in the bathroom. Had a shower/bath, fridge, cabe TV, bidet (for... more

I stayed here for a conference along with other conference colleagues. Frankly, of the rooms I saw, mine was the best. The big advantage of the rooms were that they were, in fact, big. At least by London standards! The bathrooms were nice and large, too. The room's decor was a bit on the shabby side, really in need of... more

This was not a business trip for once. I'd managed to buy three tickets to Oliver! and wanted a hotel within walking distance of theatreland, Covent Garden and Embankment and selected the Charing Cross Hotel initially for its location. I booked the rooms the afternoon before arrival via the Hotel's own website which offered an outstanding rate of just under... more

Just returned from 2 day stay. Booked a delux room including breakfast and wine, which set us back £330, not bad at all for a very central 4 star. We had 2 views of street, looking up towards Trafalga sq. London main sights right at hand, Hungerford bridge, i minute London eye, 3 minutes big men 5 minutes. Breakfast was... more

Central location of hotel excellent for sightseeing, literally 5 mins walk from Trafalgar Square. Check in fuss free and efficient. Room a bit on the small side but with everything you need during your stay. Clean and tidy, the only minor quibble being that they cleaned the room at tea time, sometimes as late as 5pm. This is not what... more

Stayed in the Charing Cross Hot London for the May bank holiday weekend. Myself and my sister brought my mam over to see a show for her Birthday. (Savoy Theatre) She felt so spoilt when she saw the Hotel. The location for the Theatre disctrict was perfect, only a couple of minutes walk from the Hotel. The hotel is beautiful,... more

I've always admired this hotel from afar but, I live in London and have no reason to stay in London hotels. After a late night out my friend and I decided to spend some money and stay over in town. My travel service found a last minute booking at the Charing Cross Hotel - junior suite for the price of... more

Well positioned for Charing Cross rail station (next door) and tube station (opposite). Buses stop right outside to various destinations. Trafalgar square is a couple of minutes walk away. Maybe 10 - 15 mins walk to Leicester Square. The pictures on the website and the reception area of the hotel are misleading. I did not feel this hotel was up... more
