2023 Travellers' Choice Best of the Best

Welcome to London’s cultured, independent hotel at the beating heart of city life.

One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London (or indeed the world) that can say it is truly independent. As such, everything is created and curated to delight.

Stepping into the lobby of this singularly beautiful building is to step into a moment in history, dressed up in style. Built in 1905 as the home of the Morning Post newspaper, it still inspires spirited conversation and connection. Today, the building’s Art Nouveau curves and stylish flair sit easily with the modern luxuries of this contemporary, forward-thinking hotel.

Known as the hotel for Londoners at heart, wherever they might be from, One Aldwych is at the centre of Covent Garden, London’s most exciting neighbourhood. For the curious minded, you have access to the finest entertainment and cultural adventures, with galleries, museums, West End theatres and the famous Royal Opera House on the doorstep. For those in need of rest and retreat, what about being cocooned in the Health Club, or having your favourite drink brought to your favourite corner of The Library, a private sanctuary from the streets.

Designed to be more than just a place to lay your head, each suite and bedroom embraces a stylish character that pays homage to the sense of modern, independent Britishness that One Aldwych represents. Think of the resident team as your friends with all the best recommendations for brunch, ballet, boutiques, exhibitions and little-known corners of the city you'll love.

Closer to home, enjoy the time-honoured British tradition of afternoon tea served on the mezzanine or with a magical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory twist. Later there’s dinner in Indigo, a restaurant celebrating British independent producers before lingering a little longer with drinks in the vivacious Lobby Bar.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place has it all, amazing staff & service, immaculately clean, food is faultless & Location.. you can’t get much better. The rooms are as quiet as they can be located on a busy road, some noise can be heard but you have to expect in this location. You get some much more for your money here vs other high end hotels in the area. We will be back 100%!

Hotel's Favourite
One Aldwych is an absolute One off, and One of a kind. As a hotel, it's classy, clean and cultured. The rooms are interior designed for comfort and luxury, the staff are kind and efficient. The art is contemporary and inspiring. The pool is UV cleaned (no bitter chlorine stinging your eyes) and the gym small but well stocked. The mini bar is a treat with the added novelty of quality wine in a can. Sorry to gush superlatives, but you'll love this hotel. I cannot rate it highly enough. It's also in the centre of town and ideal for a stroll back from an event. Thank you to the team at One Aldwych.

The Charlie & the Chocolate Factory afternoon tea downstairs is really quite an experience. Our two 9-year old girls loved it. Plenty of refined food and drinks (no need for dinner after that!), in a friendly atmosphere, with great service. Thank you Pio, our waiter, for making it such a memorable moment for the family

One Aldwych is a true 5* luxury experience. I am in love with this beautiful hotel. The staff are so kind and treat you very well. All of our hotel meals were outstanding. We loved the bar, drinks were excellent. The room is heaven. There are so many extra luxuries in the room including a complimentary mini-bar, plush seating and many mirrors (for us ladies) that make for such a nice experience. The room itself is gorgeously decorated. The bed was quite comfortable. We had a lovely view. The bathroom is amazing. I don’t usually take baths in hotels but this one I couldn’t pass up. The shower was also fabulous. Everything is so clean. The gym, pool and common rooms were also outstanding. Location is the best for visiting London, so close to theatres and Covent Garden. I hope to return for a much longer visit.

We spent an 8-day vacation at this hotel and it was first-rate in every respect. We had a lovely, immaculate corner suite, which was well-cared-for several times each day by very courteous staff. The staff at all the desks and at the door were professional, friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure we made our flight home after learning there were traffic disruptions in central London. I've stayed at most of London's best hotels over the years and this was by far the best, with rates, while expensive, more reasonable than the other 5-star hotels. The location is excellent for transportation, dining and theater.

This hotel has the nicest employees, is immaculate and when they say items in your room bar/snack area are free and will be refilled, they mean more than daily, if necessary. We stay at many 5 star hotels that offer 'free' snacks, wine, beer, sodas, etc. but they rarely refill them unless we ask. We usually stay for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 10 preferring a longer stay. It's much easier to unpack everything only once and use the hotel as your focal point. The rooms at One Aldwych are amazingly large particularly for a major city. The location couldn't be better - plays and restaurants everywhere, many within walking distance or a short taxi ride. The hotel's Indigo restaurant served delicious breakfasts and the dinners are fine dining. The Lobby Bar is relaxing and comfortable, we had drinks there every night and I always picked something different from their interesting menu. We will definitely go back to this hotel on our next visit to London. (No need to try any others - including the ME which we stayed in several years back and is right across the street, but honestly doesn't compare.) Additionally, the concierge desk felt like old friends hailing taxis for us and asking about our day. Very pleasant experience all the way around! I don't often leave reviews only when very bad and very good and obviously this is the latter.

Just back from an amazing stay at One Aldwych, what a fabulous hotel! Great location especially if you’re seeing a show in the West End. The level of customer service from everyone we met was faultless, everything was just so smooth, it would be difficult to pick one out from the team and the room, oh my goodness it was beautiful and so quiet, you can forget you’re in the heart of London. Can’t wait to return!

For my first visit to London I'm quite certain we could not have picked a better location, and overall I HIGHLY recommend One Aldwych. So, why not 5 stars? A couple of little things. Following our second night, and after our room was serviced when we got back to our room one of the bathrobes was missing in action, as was one of our make-up remover washcloths (a grey washcloth so that the make up isn't as noticeable). Not that big of a deal and we were rushed, so did without the robe as we had to get out to dinner. However the next morning I did make a point of mentioning the missing robe, and asked for it to be replaced (it was our last nights stay). Room was cleaned but the robe (nor the washcloth) ever found its way back. Not a huge issue, but a little inconvenience. My other issue with the hotel was that for the price you pay, complimentary morning coffee/tea service would be nice. I was quite surprised to find that when I asked for coffee I was charged I believe 6 pounds. I may very well stay again at One Aldwych. Overall the service was absolutely lovely, they have Dyson blow dryers in the room, the rooms themselves look very well taken care of, and the bar is also a wonderful place to have a cocktail before heading out for the evening.
