We have just returned from a two night stay at the Hampshire for our anniversary and have had a great time. The location of this hotel is brilliant for theatres and close to the tube. While we were there there was a huge out door concert taking place in the square so it was not good for taxis to get to the hotel door but it was not a major problem. The check in was very swift with the door man taking our bags and asking our names as we went inside and by the time we got to the desk the girl had our details up and was ready with the paper work. They had even made a note of the fact it was our anniversary and there was a bottle of wine waiting in the room. We had a very nice room that ok, could be classed as a bit on the small side width ways but had a king size bed that was very comfortable. The bathroom too had all you needed with toiletries, huge fluffy towels and robes. We tried the room service menu for a quick burger and chips and it was very good, with 'real' chips too ! The mini bar prices are much the same as anywhere else so you know what you are letting yourself in for as soon as the fridge door opens. Breakfast was also good with good quality fruit juces and cold items from a buffet, they take orders for you cooked items and the only thing that was not very good was the eggs bennedict. The staff were very good, the door man was a star, we had asked for a taxi to take us to a restaurant on saturday night and as I have said the square was heaving due to the concert, this chap ran down the square and lead the cab up as far as he could to save us having to push through the crowd. Do not worry about places to eat, there are hundreds on the door step and you are also only a few mins' walk from china town if you love chinese food. On the whole we had a good stay, for what we wanted to do it was perfect and we would more than likeley stay there again when we do another theatre weekend. Gripes? ......a couple, getting an alarm message through the TV at about 07.15 sunday morning just to tell us the restaurant was likely to get full between 90.30 and 11.00 did not go down well and also two Southern Comforts costing the best part of £24, we paid £20 for two good glasses of Champage and that did not bother us but £24 for a couple of shots...now that hurt !!!!

This hotel is located on Leicester Square and is within easy walking distance of all Londons best attractions and theatres.

We stayed 2 nights in a standard room on the 7th floor and had no problems with noise. The room is on the small side compared to other similar quality hotels but ours was clean and comfortable. The lifts were undergoing maintenance during our stay but other than very minor disruption it caused no problems.

We chose to eat out so can't comment on the food but from what we saw it looked ok and the bar was nice. Some really good restaurants and bars nearby as you would expect and the half price theatre ticket booth is directly outside the hotel. The staff were very friendly

We have stayed in London a number of times now and for a sightseeing visit it is the best for location and value if you get the reduced rate that we got (£300 for 2 nights)

Stayed here for a night after seeing Dirty Dancing. Good location, had a room on a high floor at the back of the hotel, looking over the London Eye, Big Ben, Trafalgar Sq. Had a great Thai meal at Susie Wongs in Compton St 10 mins away and then onto the Theatre along The Strand.

Would reccommend staying here, although bathroom products were not great.

Stayed here over the bank holiday weekend, booked this hotel mainly on its location as it was near to the show we were going to see. First room that we were given was rather dark and a bit worn, however in this room our A/C wasn't working and we were moved to a suite, which was FANTASTIC great views from floor to ceiling windows. Hotel staff were fantastic and really helpfull. Even though I live in London I found everything in the hotel and surrounding area rather expensive nearly £4 for a cup of coffee! In all this hotel is a great base for visiting all the sights of London and staff go out of their way to help you! another plus is the breakfast is great!
