Really great staff and really spacious (by London standards) clean and trendy rooms. The bar and restaurant spaces were booked for private events both evenings of our stay and were a bit noisy but we were warned at check in and the hotel have made attempts to install sound proofing for the rooms. Ultimately I would recommend a stay here.

The service is great and the hotel too, it’s just not a hotel to chill. Because they have parties till 2 in the morning and you hear it in your room. So it’s not a hotel if you have an early flight.

The mandrake is an exceptional hotel, the interior decor is innovative and inspiring for creatives, with beautiful contemporary artwork, and installations, every floor is decadent glamour, there are quiet areas also and you feel like you are not in the centre of London but in a lush tropical location. The food is tasty, as well as the bar area with iconic cocktails. The staff are very friendly and hospitable, we loved our stay there and will return soon

From the moment we entered the hotel we were met with kindness and love. Has to be the most stylish hotel in London. The cocktails and selection at the bar were beautiful. The food was incredibly well thought out and tasted beautiful. Unbelievable decor, incredible customer service and a weekend I will remember for the rest of my life.
