We stayed here as we were going to the theatre. The staff were very friendly. We were offered a complimentary glass of prosecco or a soft drink on arrival. Check in was smooth. The delux room was excellent. The decor was lovely, there was enough space and a sofa too. Everything was very clean. Tea and coffee provided with a little bottled milk in the fridge. Ordered room service in the morning and it was very prompt. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very poor value Middle Eight Hotel - Garden London

I recently stayed at the Middle Eight Hotel - Garden London, choosing this location for its convenience and the apparent plushness based on their website. I was willing to pay extra for a better experience, but sadly, my stay fell far short of expectations. Upon arrival, the reception was welcoming and professional, which was a positive start. However, my experience quickly declined. I paid €414 for a one-night stay, expecting a decent-sized room. Instead, I was allocated a very small room with a tiny bed and a window that overlooked some serviced ducts in a service yard, which was disappointing. I asked at reception if I could be moved to a larger room. I was shown an upgrade option, but it came with an additional charge of £100 (approximately €120), which I found unreasonable given what I had already paid. The upgrade room wasn't much bigger, but I accepted because the first room was far too small. Additionally, I was told the mini-bar was complimentary, but it only contained milk, which was not particularly useful. The did bring 3 small bottles of Coje and 1 bottle of beer on request. Since I had an early flight the next day, I requested a late check-out to shower before leaving. This request cost another £80 (roughly €100), adding to my overall disappointment with the value received, however I was thankful to avail of this service. Overall, this stay was a major letdown. I dont mind paying good money for a good product in retur

From the moment I walked into the Middle Eight, I was treated as a VIP. The gorgeous lobby, the friendly and professional hospitality staff really made me understand why Middle Eight is designated as a luxury hotel. The room was lovely and comfortable. The dining room staff were quick and thoughtful, and the breakfast just right. Everything was superb. I will be back next week. Thank you all.

The hotel is very well situated and we have stayed there before. I found the housekeeping to be very inconsistent. They didn't replace faceclothes, water and other imenities and we had to ask the front desk. Overall though it was a pleasant stay.
