We just needed a one night stop at a London hotel, after watching a concert at the O2 arena. The Grand proved to be a great choice, at a central location within walking distance of Waterloo station, and minutes from Leicester Square. Despite a not so smooth check in, we were pleased with our rooms, a good size for a... more

My husband and I stayed at The Grand at Trafalgar Square from June 20 to June 22, 2008. We got a great deal from Hotwire - $129US per night. The Grand was just a few blocks from Embankment tube station and was quite easy for us to locate, despite the fact we hardly slept on our red-eye flight from Toronto.... more

We were originally planning to stay at a basic 2-star hotel to save some money, but the Hotwire deal we got for this hotel made it even cheaper than the less-central 2-star places we'd been considering! The Trafalgar Square location was extremely convenient for sightseeing, with a short walk to Westminster and Parliament, a short walk to Buckingham Palace, an... more

We had an excellent rate via hotwire! The hotel is well located near several tube stations, buses and major monuments in London. The room is small (for the price) and we had a bad view. The flat TV and keyboard (furnished) that can utilised to bowse internet is a plus. There is no fridge in the room though, for us... more

Gee whiz did we suffer some frustration (and by the line at reception we were not alone). Booking, credit card authorisation procedures and the knowledge of the staff at reception were all questionnable. On the plus side it is a great location. Just at the end of the day, I wish the service had been better/ more

I am not sure if some of the posters here stayed at the same Grand at Trafalgar that I stayed. The service was outstanding, we arrived at the hotel almost 4 hours before our check-in time, after a 8hr overnight flight from the US. I used this hotel as a one day stop on my way to Dover to catch... more

We were pleased with this hotel and we recommend it to anyone who is looking for a central location in London, but not so particular about good service. We definitely got our money’s worth and we appreciated the complementary amenities. We agree with the previous reviews: location the excellent, but the service was poor. However, the pros definitely outweighed the... more

The hotel is situated about 2 minutes walk from Trafalgar Square. The setting of the hotel is very good with the impression that it is going to be something special The reception area is small with no amenities other than a check in desk. Check in was fast and both lifts were in working order. On the 2nd floor was... more

Probably once quite grand, renovations have stripped most of the grandeur away. If you look closely you will notice signs of its once elegant former self, like the marble staircase in the center, which can easily be missed if you take the elevator. It's clean and perfectly adequate but there's not much that's memorable about it. A colleague stayed in... more

Originally wanted to stay at the Jesmond Dene but it was fully booked, so went for this on on its location. You couldn't get more central than this - literally just a few yards off Trafalgar Square and close to both Embankment and Charing Cross tube stations. We were only staying the one night - 2nd May 2008 and wanted... more
