Hazlitts

Hazlitt's is a great place to stay in London if you plan on seeing a lot of shows while you're there. You can walk to most theatres in Soho within 5 minutes and to theatres around Picadilly Circus (with a Tube stop) within 10 minutes . You can walk to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery in about 10 minutes. The hotel has no food service on site, but you are litterally surrounded by dozens of cute little cafes, bars and restaurants. There were so many interesting food choices, it was hard to make a decision where to eat. The hotel itself is a combination of old residences and it definitely has its quirks (which I liked). The hotel's website makes it look a little fancier than it is - it's a little worn, but I didn't have any problem with it. I stayed in the Madame Kennedy room, which was fine - 4 poster bed, antique-type furnishings, flat screen TV. Not huge, but was more than adequate. Hazlitt's is NOT for someone who likes to stay at a Hilton or Sheraton. There are limited services available for guests, so don't stay here if you expect to be pampered. I'm including 2 photos of Frith St, just outside of the front door of Hazlitt's. It's location, location, location for this inn.

This is a very quaint, boutique type hotel, in an excellent location right in the heart of Soho. The ambiance is "shabby chic", so don't expect 5* Hilton type set up. Service was a bit perfunctory.

We stayed in a deluxe double and I thought it was a good size with four poster bed. All the furniture is antique which is nice. Our bathroom retained its original features of high cistern toilet and claw foot bath, but I felt it was a bit basic. There is no restaurant but you don't need it as there is room service and 100s of restaurants and bars right outside the door.

Perfect for a romantic get away where you want to go out for a nice meal or see a show.

I am staying at the Hazlitt's once a year for profesionnal reasons and each time it's a great experience !!! The location is great, really convenient, a lot of bars and restaurants around the hotel, the metro station really close. The rates are good compared to the location, the service and the size of the rooms. It is so expensive in London for a french traveler.

I used to stay there 3 or 4 nights each time and I have always a different room. All of them, have a name of a famous person who has lived or stayed there.

The staff is more than helpful (in particular Fergal at reception) as I am always lost in this big city of London and I always need some help.

I stayed also at the Hazlitt's in November with my boyfriend and I can confirm that it was a really romantic experience : we had a typical victorian bed and the decor is so cosy.

Do not hesitate to book at the Hazlitt's, you will not regret it
