Latest 5 reviews of The Fielding Hotel
just what we wanted and where we wanted,
Somewhere clean, quiet and convenient for Covent Garden. The Fielding is all these and we felt, it to be good value for money[ though travellers need to be aware that V.A.T. is extra]. However in 48 hours we managed a ballet , the Moctezuma exhibition at the British Museum, a good browse in Foyles with coffee to sustain us, the east wing of the National gallery, a meal and concert rehearsal in St Martin-in-the-Fields, Lenny Henry's Othello, the british Library and a matinee at the National Theatre.Apart from the latter all were within walking distance of the Fielding Hotel and the lamplit court was nice to come back to. One of the party ,being vegetarian, we enjoyed breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien for its coffee[in bowls] pastries and fresh fruit. Other reviews have rightly commented on the small sized rooms, narrow stairs and creaky floorboards but it is an old building . There are plenty of modern tower block hotels to choose from but the Fielding is unique. We'll certainly use it again.
You're paying for the location.
Okay, the basics: it's safe, it's pretty clean, and it had the bare-bones amenities. The real bonus about this hotel is the location. Tucked away on a relatively quiet little street, it is still somehow right in the middle of the action. Mere minutes walk away from Covent Garden, the Thames, the British Museum etc., you just can't knock it's proximity to many London attractions. On the flip side, from an American perspective, you get a very spartan hotel experience for a not-so-spartan price. The room was very small and the bathroom was so tiny that you could literally almost turn the shower on whilst seated on the toilet (not that I tried, it just didn't make sense). The bed was hard as a rock and the TV was about the size of a small lunch pale. However, again, the location was so central and convenient that we hardly spent any time in the room at all, so it wasn't that much of an issue. On the whole, I would stay here again, though a more modern hotel with bigger rooms could certainly steal my business away.
Excellent Location
Stayed at the Fielding Hotel over New Year's to break in 2009 for a holiday with a significant other. Chose the hotel based on location, which it lived up to perfectly in this respect. Agree with most other reviews regarding general hotel charm, creaking floorboards, no lift, small/cozy rooms, etc. Contacted the hotel directly by e-mail, got a rate of 115£ per night. Paid a deposit of one night's rent to book the room. Felt a little uncomfortable e-mailing my credit card information (would have been nice to be able to use PayPal or equivalent) but so far so good. Again, location is excellent, only a few short blocks from the Covent Garden tube station and within very reasonable walking distance of Leicester Square and Holborn stations as well. Easy to get to the hotel from Heathrow, just took the Picadilly Line straight to Covent Garden. Also very easy to walk to the Thames River and sights.
Treated with complete direspect
I stayed at The Fielding with my parents twice during the 90's and found it to be a poky but charming hotel in a superb location and with very friendly, helpful staff.
We had such fond memories of our stays at The Fielding that upon my parents latest visit to the UK we decided that we would pay the hotel a short visit around lunchtime on 22 December 2008 to see how it may have changed or developed through the years. Sadly our fond memories of the place were shattered by the disgraceful rudeness of the elderly "gentleman" behind the counter at reception.
When my mother politely enquired about their rates the man rudely responded "they are outside" and then barked out an instruction to a nearby staff member to "show this woman where outside is". We were all insulted and upset by this remarkable display of rudeness and if this is the attitude displayed by what we assumed was the manager then we'd hate to see the influence this has on the rest of the staff.
Maybe The Fielding should rename themselves to Fawlty Towers...
good place
Great location on a quiet pedestrian street in a very busy district (Covent Garden) which is why we stayed there. Room small but adequately furnished with two club chairs. Very clean. Fresh sheets every day! Bathroom adequate. No breakfast. Staff helpful. No lift, narrow stair, if you travel heavy or need help with your bags this may not be the place for you. But we would stay there again any time. Great value considering the times.
