This hotel is a gem in the West End. The rooms have been recently re-done and are very comfortable. Best of all is the STAFF -- very friendly and accommodating. The location means that you can walk to dozens of places (museums, theatres, companies) that you would want to see. There are a number of fun restaurants within a couple of blocks of the hotel.

Staff: Friendly and attentive
Location: Charming somewhat quiet neighborhood with nice bars and restaurants away from the busyness of SoHo, but just close enough you can walk there if you choose. The Tube isn't far but feels far if lugging a big suitcase.
Recs nearby: Mr Foggs Botanical or Fitzroy
Room: Clean, comfy, no frills (I did the most basic option, some are nicer!) Some people have complained about the small room size, but it's pretty apparent when you look at photos online that it's a twin-sized, no-frills room. And being from NYC, I even found it spacious enough for

I stayed here for four nights during my trip to Europe with my sister. The hotel is quite fancy. It is next to a pub. But it's not noisy or anything like that. The rooms were big. The bed is kind of small tho for two people. Customer service is wonderful. Close to many restaurants. Also close to the subway station....about 10-15mins walk. Also close to market. Over all we had a good time staying here.

Even after upgrading to a giant (overpriced) room, they still wouldn't give me a free continental breakfast. Lame.
If you get the standard room, it's so tiny, I couldn't even fit in the shower. The upgraded Club suite is better, but still smaller than you find in even the cheapest American hotel.
Pros -
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The hotel bar is open all night
It's near some good pubs
Free wifi
Cons -
Overpriced bar (they wanted to charge 4 pounds for a tiny Coke ($5).
Music is too sleepy in the bar. Liven it up!
Tiny rooms
No nice amenities, even in the upgraded

Good location, really friendly staff, but that's about it. My shower kept turning off when I was in it and I'd have to finish washing with my sink. They fixed it right away so no big deal, but then when I came back to my room after housekeeping "cleaned" it, the bedding had a big, old blood stain on it. It was on the down comforter, covered by the duvet so I don't know if they thought someone wouldn't notice or what, but I sure did. Gross. Ordered room service one night and the food wasn't great. Didn't try the actual restaurant, maybe that's better

Our sheets had what looked like dried period blood stains on them. 3 good puddles, the largest being maybe half the size of my palm. When we called to have our sheets changed, they came and went 3 different times before they finally got us a clean sheet that fit the bed. The people that came up to change the sheet didn't work in housekeeping and weren't totally sure how to make the bed.
They took our hand towels and didn't put them back in the room after the first night.
They also took our bathroom mat and didn't put it back until we called and asked for them to send another

Great location, clean, and safe. Desk staff and concierge felt hesitant, lacking experience. Restaurants and bars immediately across the street so if you want or expect quiet, request a room in the back of the hotel. For breakfast, recommend going across the street to Lantana. Rooms were very, very well serviced. Tube two blocks away. Surrounded by cool restaurant seen.

We stayed here four nights in December, 2012, and I was very happy with our choice. If you don't want to stay in a hostel, but don't want to spend a fortune either, this place is perfect. It was totally clean, they gave us big fresh towels everyday, there was always hot water in the shower, and it was quiet enough to actually get some sleep. They have a bar and kitchen that's open all night, and an elevator. They provided a hair dryer and tea. And, it's smack dab in the middle of two tube stations, making travel easy. Plus, there are tons of restaurants just steps away. Overall

This place is great.
I stayed here for two weeks straight while on a business trip to London. The rooms are small, but about average size for London. Some people on the other review sites complain about the noise outside. This really isn't as much of a problem as they make it out to be. If you're worried about noise, ask for a courtyard facing room. They're almost silent. Also, I recommend getting a room on a lower floor. The elevator is slow, and the rooms start on what americans would call the third floor, so you'll be climbing a lot of stairs or waiting forever for the elevator

Nice, traditional business class hotel on a quiet street within walking distance to West End theatres and just off Charlotte street, home to many good restaurants and pubs. The hotel has a comfortable and cozy lobby and bar with free wifi. The Rathbone is a stone's throw from Goodge Street Tube (Tottenham is close as well) and a 10£ taxi ride from Paddington station with very efficient and highly recommended train service to London Heathrow. Avoid outrageous taxi fare from airport to central London.

Last summer, I spent two nights at this cozy little hotel right in the heart of Soho. The single room I had was not huge but very comfortable. I was tickled by the fact that when I ordered room-service "tea" after getting in from LHR that it came on the fancy china with savories, scones and sweets!
The hotel itself is in a brilliant location in Soho, literally steps away from shops and dozens of restaurants (many of them trendy or had outdoor seating, perfect for the estival season). I originally chose this hotel because I wanted to hoof it around Soho and be within walking distance
