I like the location of the hotel. I've stayed here 3 times now. They always give me a good room with a view, however, the pillows are so uncomfortable each time. I have a terrible night's sleep because of it.

Directions to hotel were not very good. A street number would have been better. Also although the breakfast was good value for money, I would have preferred to have the option clearly stated at the outset that breakfast was extra

Fire Alarm went off at 4.30am, no staff to guide us. Communication poor, if there had of been a fire there would have been fatalities, as guests had no idea. Front reception is deceptively as clean and inviting, but rooms tied and dirty.

It was ok, average I would say. You pay for the location which is perfect but the room is just average and quite small. Not a massive problem as only sleeping in there. We also had a false fire alarm at 4.15am!

It is conveniently located if you have a business in West End, Covent Garden, Oxford Street, British Museum etc. The facility may not be up to date or first class but i like the location so I stay here when I visit the above places.

This is usually my go to hotel when in London, great location, good room size if I book the city room, great late night bar with good bar staff and cocktails. My issue is that the hotel rooms are now really dated, the savings grace was the late night bar tenders making great cocktails. They have now gone and the bar is not that desirable, good for regular drinks at best. For the past 6 years I've been staying here the elevators/lifts have always been temporarily been on a reduced service. I used to really like this hotel for it's price and location, but I now think it's time for me to look at other options.

Perfect location for theatre and shopping with the station just a block away. There is quite a bit of street noise that can be heard from the room which is to be expected in this location. The room is a good size and perfect for someone who just needs a place to sleep and shower.

Budget hotel

The first impressions of the hotel were good with a smart, spacious reception area. We had a "Signature" double room which was comfortable for the two nights we were staying but I wouldn't have liked to stay much longer. It has a small window but with the window open there was a noise like working extraction units, too loud to sleep through so the window had to be closed. There is air conditioning in the room, but again, very loud. House keeping was good but they kept the laundry cages next to our room, 854, and when they moved them or put items in or out the cages banged noisily on the wall, if you look at the wall when the cages aren't there you can see where the paint has been scraped off by the cages. The biggest problem with the hotel comes from it's very design, 4 small lifts, 1 of which was out of order, covering 12 floors (14 if you count the lobby and mezzanine) at busy times you have to wait a very long time for a lift with space for you to get in. There are 3 restaurants, the main bar, Hudsons, is very dark, the 24 hour restaurant obviously has security issues as the toilets are locked with codelocks and there are signs of damage. I think the only way to describe St. Giles is a budget hotel.
