Hazlitts

Stayed here as we had to attend a film premiere at Leicester Square so location was important to us. Perfectly situated 5 mins walk away from the cinema.

On arriving at midday our room wasn't ready but as check- in was 3pm this wasn't the hotel's fault. They stored our luggage and suggested room would be ready at 2pm. Staff were friendly but I thought they looked a bit scuffy. Their uniform consisted of a light coloured shirt and dark skirt or trousers. I think they would create a better impression wearing something smarter. But they were helpful and polite.

The public areas are good, with antique furniture and a lovely log fire in one of the drawing rooms. Staircase to bedrooms was a little uneven but that's due to the age of the building and added to it's charm but if one was infirm could be difficult as there isn't a lift.We stayed in a superior room which was perfectly large enough but rather dark. Bathroom had bath with overhead shower. Overall the decor and furnishings were very good. Modern amenities included a flat- screen TV concealed in a cupboard and an iPod dock.

Breakfast was brought to our room promptly the next morning having placed our order outside the door the previous evening and was good value at £10.95. There was a choice of bacon in a ciabatta roll or a continental breakfast with pain au chocolate, croissant etc, plus tea or coffee and choice of juice.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and it made a change from staying in a large bland modern hotel. Location is excellent for central London but bear in mind Soho can be noisy in the evenings.

Hazlitt's is a small, boutique hotel in the center of Soho. It is in the heart of the restaurant district and near to the theatres and Oxford Street. Less expensive than some of the big, chain hotels, it has wonderful service in a charming building.

Our room was on the small side, but very comfortable, Wish there were hooks in the bathroom to hang towels up -- but the shower was amazing! Our room was very quiet . There was computer access downstairs and the staff were very warm and accomodating. Breakfast was not included but there are many local coffee shops and restaurants just steps away. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

We stayed at Hazlitts for our first anniversary. The hotel has boundless charm and character, our room was beautiful and the porter full of snippets of facts about the 3 houses the hotel is converted from. Service was excellent and extremely professional, and the whole atmosphere made us feel we were somewhere really special! (which we were!)

The location is amazing, we were less than a 5 minute walk from Leicester Square and only 2 minutes from Shaftesbury Avenue and all the theatres (even in 4 inch heels!)

There are plenty of trendy bars on Frith Street if you fancy a night out, but don't worry about noise. The double glazing and air con mean that even in summer its quiet and cool in the rooms (and our room faced out onto the street).

My only criticism would be that there are no robes in the room which is a pain as breakfast is served in the room, so we had to scramble to get dressed when it arrived! The breakfast was delicious though, and checkout's not til midday so we spent a relaxing morning eating our breakfast then ventured out for a walk around Soho before leaving.

would highly recommend as a hotel for a treat weekend in London.
