St Martins Lane

Este es un hotel de diseño de arriba a abajo. En la puerta ni siquiera pone que es un hotel, de hecho mas bien parece un Club. El hall tampoco parece la recepción de un hotel, por cierto, el restaurante con cocina fusión Thai-Cuba es una pasada.

Los ascensores tiene musica chill-out y estan ilumninados unicamente por la luz de unas pantallas planas que muestran videos relajantes. Los pasillos estan muy bien acondicionados para aislar el ruido, pero lo mejor son las habitaciones.

Me quedè en la 634 en la última planta.

La habitación es un gran cubo blanco en el que una de las paredes es toda de cristal y da al exterior. Hay varias luces que se pueden atenuar para crear diferentes ambientes. La mesa es de marmol artificial y se ilumina junto con las luces relajantes de la cama, en las que se puede cambiar la gama de colores.

En definitiva, las habitaciones estan llenas de detalles, el mejor, la base JBL para escuchar musica con tu Ipod.

El único inconveniente fue la conexión a internet, que primero no funcionaba y luego era muy lenta. A pesar de esto, el personal del hotel se volcó para ayudarme y al final ni siquiera me cobraron el servicio de internet.

Un hotel muy recomendable.

Great location and very stylish but the rooms aren't that big, there's not much in them and bed was very soft and uncomfortable - my back hasn't been the same since! There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, the mirror is miles from the plug and the shower flooded the bathroom. Also the rooms are quite small and the much vaunted 'floor to ceiling windows aren't at all impressive.

We paid £37 for two very small and ordinary cocktails in the (admittedly very chic) bar and breafast was £25 per person for a filled roll and a hot drink.

Awesome hotel. I stay here at least once a month for business (so in total around 15 or so stays over the last year). Located immediately behind Leceister Square Station and about a minute from Trafalgar Square so perfect for tourists. 5 mins walking distance to Picaddilly Circ, Convent Garden/theatreland. Buckingham Palace is about 10 mins walk.

It is designed in a very boutique small scale hotel way, but it doesnt behave like one where it counts. There is a business centre, wireless internet, breakfasts downstairs are awesome (although pricey at about 24 pounds so get it included in room rate if able). A lot of the rooms have great views of either some of the old surrounding theatre buildings or the gerkhin/london eye. They have an affiliation with the gymbox next door which is a state of the art gym with classes included - or they have a smaller gym within the hotel. Very good room service menu with super fast service and well priced (compared to london prices generally). Staff are always friendly and happy to assist wherever possible. The showers are fantastic and beds comfortable.

The hotel is very well maintained (ie painting/carpet being steam cleaned) so unlike some other hotels isn't modern but trashed. The rooms are well sized compared with typical london hotel room sizes. The deluxe rooms are very comfortable for 2 travellers with loads of luggage and standard rooms are also quite good in size when compared to other mid city hotels.

I would recommend this hotel highly to any business travellers and definately to tourists as it is smack bang in the heart of everything that is going on in London. Having tried a number of other hotels in the local area, prior to finding St Martins Lane, I would never stay anywhere else.
