London hotels in Soho

Cons: Room size is super tight

Cons: I received the worst treatment possible from the managerial staff. Firstly, even though they had my reservation, which was made and confirmed a month and a half in advance, they decided that they didn't have any room available for me to stay in when I arrived to check in. I found this to be very unprofessional since they could have called me or emailed me prior to my arrival at the hotel to give me a forewarning so that I could plan ahead as well. The situation was worsened by the staff then relaying this information to me in a very condescending manner in which they had the very unapologetic tone of "take it or leave it". Secondly, they decided that a fair way to "compensate" me would be by reserving a room in another hotel on my behalf, without any input from me regarding choice, and then giving me a ride to this new hotel. I specifically chose the W for my stay and did not choose the other hotel when making my initial plans. So, the manager felt he could take the payment for the room at the W, decide that they no longer have a room at the W, then deny me the choice of an alternative hotel, and all without the option of a refund. They said they were compensating me, but I feel that they cheated me greatly. It was terrible customer service. Eventually, I had no choice but to take their offer of staying at the other property, which I didn't want to stay in, since they were not going to make any room available for me at the W for the night. Truthfully, I feel there were a bunch of racial undertones and biases based on the unprofessional, condescending, unempathetic, and unapologetic tone of the manager and staff. I have stayed at many hotels around the world. This has been, by far, my worst experience with any hotel staff regarding a reservation.

Cons: Over charger $2k with a forced apology

Cons: Wish there was a way to open the windows for some fresh air at night. Air cond too noisy for that function.

Cons: Room was the size of a closet. Felt like I was sleeping in a coffin.

Cons: The room was so tiny (literally wall to wall bed) that there was no where to put anything. I was traveling with my daughter so sharing a bed wasn’t ideal. We were put in a basement room without a window so it was dark which was fine for sleeping but seemed dangerous if there was a fire and would have been a bit depressing if we had wanted to be in the room more.

Cons: Overall the hotel is in shabby condition, mis-matched and tacky furniture, thread bare carpeting and dim lighting. The mattress was lumpy, we had no internet service though it was supposed to be provided free. The air conditioning did not work well and the toilet leaked. When we went to take a shower in the morning there was no hot water, we called multiple times and heard a different story each time regarding the water. There was never any hot water and we were told the boiler was broken. The staff was odd, almost seemed like a mafia running the property, very strange to explain. Not friendly or helpful at all, didn't seem to care about any of the issues or challenges we had there. When checking out the clerk just looked at me and handed me a business card for a discount on my next stay! When it was time to catch a cab to the airport, the concierge tried to force us to use a cab service recommended by them. 30 minutes later we were still waiting for a cab, though dozens of empty ones passed by the street in front of us. We finally hailed our own! The roof top lounge is like a ghetto night club, pounding music and lots of drunk teens staggering through there as well as the lobby. The gym has 4 pieces of equipment, all kind of old and not looking to safe to use, quite a joke! Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, unless you are looking for a drunk-fest in London in a sleazy hotel. This was definitely not a value, our basic needs were not met.

Cons: Paint on ceiling falling off, hole in the wall and plug didn’t work. Wouldn’t say this was a 5 star hotel.

Cons: It's not 5-star hotel, maybe three. My room didn't look anything like on photos, but was quite old fashioned with dirty carpet, broken cupboards and water stains on bathroom ceiling.
