We stayed here for 6 nights on a recent trip. We had a riverview room and we were very happy with it. We could see the London eye, Westminster abbey and big ben from there. The coffee machine was good as well and they replaced the pods quite regularly. The airconditioner was noisy and there was a smell of dead... more

We stayed here for two night and were hugely disappointed. How it is graded a 5* I don't know - the rooms were dark, dismal and sad looking and there was a terrible smell of drains in the reception and corridor throughout the time we were there. Breakfast was ok and the waiting staff attentive but overall the hotel lacked... more

from the surly unhelpful front desk to the jumpy, on edge restaurant staff, this hotel was a complete disappointment. THE GARDEN ROOMS overlooked concrete blocks on either side and gave the feeling of a prison block. At the front desk every thing was an effort !! airconditioners were noisy and not always operating.. the whole hotel gave the feeling it... more

ive stayed in 4 star hotels and 3 star and i would say the rooms are better. not a problem with the saff all very nice,but to have to look at a building site and not the eye was poor,as the state. also the breakfast was not that good. more

My wife and I stayed at the Howard on the 15th May for 2 nights. We normally stay at the Hilton on Park Lane, but decided to stay somewhere different, for a change. From when we arrived the staff were very helpful from taking my car to the car park, and check in was swift with our room ready at... more

Myself and my Fiance stayed here over three nights. We managed to find ourselves a fantastic deal on lastminute and paid little over £300 for our 3 night stay. The Swissotel is absolutley fantasticly located, there is a tube station literally across the road from the hotel entrance and Westminister and Buckingham Palace, along with Soho and Covent Gardens are... more

We stayed at the Howard for the 2 nights before and after the London Marathon, and were pleasantly surprised at the easy journey from outer London , as the hotel is located just a minute from Temple station. It is a very nice hotel so I'm sorry to give some bad points first. I was not impressed with the room... more

I had high expectations of The Howard, having stayed in the Swissotel in Berlin on two previous occasions and been very impressed. I had a recommendation from a personal friend and had also been impressed with previous reviews on Tripadvisor. The room I had was excellent, but the overall experience was marred by poor service in the restaurant at breakfast... more

This is a nice hotel, but the 5* rating it gives itself is, in my opinion, not warranted. Views and location are 5* but the hotel itself is expensive and a little dated. Additionally I was given a room right next to the building site next door and was woken early by the noise. It was a Sunday night, so... more
