Nice hotel but warning: construction and noise

Very nice hotel with pleasant and responsive staff. In Fitzrovia area of London - lots of restaurants, cafes and independent shops around. The problem is the construction: they are renovating the building next door and possibly using part of the hotel (north corridor) to move workers and materials around. Despite the staff assurances that construction is from 10 to 5 ish daily, the banging and hammering usually starts at 8 30 am Monday to Saturday and goes to 4 30 or 5 pm. Don't plan to nap or sleep in the hotel during the day. I was on 4th floor and seriously thought of changing hotels but the surrounding ones of equal quality were booked. I hope for the sake of future travellers this construction will be over soon as it is a major pain in the ass and can be heard on at least the top 2 floors. I was not warned of the construction on booking - it was an unpleasant surprise. Otherwise the hotel is clean, has bigger rooms and great service. Call before you go to verify if construction still ongoing. Bill Macheras Toronto

Excellent stay at the Rathbone Hotel

We had a great weekend stay at the Rathbone. The location was fabulous, being only a few minutes walk away from Oxford St and theatre land for the shows, and just around the corner from the hotel there are lots of pubs, restaurants and shops. Our room was very comfortable and quiet, with a super king bed, nice linens and fluffy towels, plus other nice furnishings and a good shower in the ensuite. The room and hotel generally was well finished and maintained. Lobby, reception area, bar and dining areas all looked great with a classic Older London hotel look and opulent finishes. The staff were very friendly and attentive and dealt with a minor issue of maintenance immediately. Thanks for a lovely stay! We'll be back, if returning to the area.

Great hotel, delightful staff

Booked by my husband as a birthday surprise. A great hotel in a quiet part of Fitzrovia though walking distance to many bars and eateries. The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming - both at the front desk, and at breakfast. The room was lovely with a super comfortable bed. The continental breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the Spanish options too. All in all a brilliant stay. Will stay again for sure.

Nice, at the right price. Location can’t be faulted in the middle of magical Fitzrovia and on the edge of Soho. Lovely staff. Nice, small lounge area and bar at reception. The rooms are spotlessly clean, but dated, like a reminder of hotels from the 70s and 80s. My price was €160 for my night, which was acceptable - but if the price had been much higher I would have been less content. Would happily stay again at the right price point.

As our first time in London, we were lucky to have found this place! A great location near SOHO, so many food options in walking distance. Lots of cute shops and coffee shops just out the front door. The staff was absolutely amazing and so accommodating. The room was very clean and had cute antique touches. Will be back the next time we visit.
