The Grand at Trafalgar Square

Outstanding

Location and very nice. This hotel was outstanding. You can take the train anywhere in London and there is lots withing walking distance. Located in Tralfgar Square and China town and lots of restaurants within 5 minutes walking. I loved it.

One of my favorites

An excellent hotel where I have stayed since it was in its early stages.. They have done a wonderful job of making this an easy and comfortable place to stay. There isn't much what I would call ambiance but nevertheless I keep coming back

Excellent location for city tour

Excellent location. Good condition.

Great location

Clean, nice size room, for the price. Very good location.

Great Location for Visiting London

This place is wonderful. If offers a nicely sized room, with smallish bath - complete though and well supplied - and a small closet. Good bed. The attached restaurant is OK, though very high priced. Right down the street there are other places cheaper, better, & with much better food. GREAT location if you are visiting London to see London. You are a half block from Trafalgar Square. The National Portrait Gallery forms one side of the Square. Saint Martin of the Fields church forms another. It has a great cafeteria & wonderful food service the basement. The nearest pub is Sherlock Holmes Pub right across the street. It features great Sherlock Holmes memorabilia & even better food if you are a fan of those wonderful books or movies. The movies play constantly, BTW. The beer is cold & the prices are A-OK. You are within walking distance of nearly everything too – from Saint Paul’s Cathedral in one direction (20 minutes walk) – or Westminster Abbey in the other direction (15 minutes walk) & the London eye right across the river (10 minutes walk). Every walk in London takes longer than just walking time, because there are so many memorials, statutes, & things to see along the way. You just have to stop & say “I remember reading about that!” Take a photo… I’d recommend this place to anyone who is visiting London to see the sights. You are near an underground station (Charring Cross) to get anywhere in London. No place in London is over a half hour away by Underground. ATMs are all over the place. Great service overall, even if the desk service is a bit ‘cold,’ from what we are used to here in the US. Maids were good and the rooms were clean. The only problem you could have is, the entrance is up four steps, & although there is a handicapped lift available, they simply won’t use it for luggage. So you better be able to carry your luggage up steps. There is a lift in the hotel to get to the various floors.

Great location

Very nice hotel, good price for location. The service was ok, staff was friendly and helpful. The room was small but was on the last floor and had a great view of Big Ben.

great choice for a london visit

it was a wonderful location, they were helpful in finding restaurants and booking plans if that's what you needed. the room was lovely with comfortable bed and nicely renovated details; high ceilings. free wireless throughout the hotel and that was awesome! even had a computer in a sitting area on our floor. we would definately stay there again.

Small but comfortable room, great location, mediocre restaurants nearby, Chine Town is only 3 blocks away, good cheap food.

Great Location

Located with in walking distance to most sights. Good fitness center. The shuttle to the airport was very convenient.

Great Location; Good Service

Fantastic location - a stone's throw from Trafalgar Square, convenient to two Underground stations (Embankment and Charing Cross); near to West End theatres; Room amenities were in good condition. Rooms facing Northumberland might be noisy, but I had a room in the back which was very quiet. Hotel service was good and helpful. There is a small Italian eatery (mozzarella bar) connected to the hotel, serving a fine breakfast and a superb pasta dish for dinner. Well worth the value.

My Favorite in London

A relatively new hotel which has got it "just right". My trips are always short and expectations that everything should work are high. Good job! Keep it going!

Great location, excellent for the price

Very surprised at how nice the hotel was for the price. It is set up for business travelers but worked just fine for me, too. Loved the free internet access at the second floor lobby...used it to check email and print my boarding pass. There is a decent fitness room to use in case you don't get enough exercise walking around town all day. You can see Trafalgar Square from the front of the hotel and it is about halfway between Charing Cross and Embankment tube stations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a central hotel in London. Can't comment on the service because I used self check-in/check-out and didn't use room service (only stayed one night).

a dump

We had requested a suite and paid more than we usually do to obtain a beautiful hotel room--we recieved a gross room with barely enough room for the icky pull out couch. If you are used to traveling first class this is not the hotel for you.
