Great location but small room. Nothing special.

Average hotel, not great. Really small room, but the location was great. A bit overpriced for what it was.

At The Station

The Charing Cross is an old railroad hotel that has recently received an extensive and expensive renovation. The rooms are stylishly modern with almost every amenity (heated bathroom floors and towel rack, flat screen tv and free hi power wi-fi. They are cleary going green here. The bathroom even has a night light so you don't need to keep it;s lights on all night. One problem though, the bath room mirrors are insufficiently lighted. a lighted ,magnified shaving/makeup mirror is need. Great Location!

Charing Cross

In short, it is a great hotel. The staff is helpful. The hotel is beautiful. The location can't be beat. But the value leaves something to be desired. It is basically an al a carte treatment. Nothing is included except the bed and shower. If you need or want anything else, you have to pay for it.

Perfect location and very nice hotel

My wife and I agree that this hotel is a perfect location. I was concerned about the price, but after doing research, it was a fair and reasonable rate. It is an old, historic hotel they have upgraded and improved. The bath included a lavatory, commode, tub and shower with heated towel rack. The towels were big enough to wrap-up in! The bed was a bit short for me... I'm over 6 foot, but I survived. The staff was nice, friendly and helpful. We ordered ice from room service every day and the man who brought it was very nice and professional. The concierge helped with our bags and helped us into our taxi. He was very gracious. The hotel is located adjacent to the Charing Cross Underground subway and this was one of the niceties at this hotel. Being located about a block from Trafalgar Square (the center of the city) helps too. Candles are placed on the stairs in the evening giving the entire hotel a very romantic feel. We highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay!

Great location

The hotel upgraded us to their executive rooms in a newer building. The path to get to the new building requires the use of two elevators and stairs. It is confusing but the room while small was current and nicely outfitted.

Hmmm

Great sized room, with a good view. The room needed a little TLC and was showing signs that a makeover was due. We ate on the 1st night in the restaurant that was fully booked and couldn't accomodate us till late. Turned up early to find loads of space. Hmmm. Nice menu, shame it didn't match the food. Breakfast VERY overpriced and not brilliant. Would we stay again. Yes. But only for the rooms and the location.

Excellent Location and Value

This hotel is a gem. We had never been to London but we landed in the heart of the city. Trafalgar Square on the next corner, theater district, walking distance to bridge over the Thames, the London Eye, restaurants and stores. There was some confusion about our reservation but the staff straightened it out and upgraded us for our trouble. The hotel is physically nice also. I highly recommend this hotel.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

If you are coming from the states, check exchange rates for dollars to pounds and try to arrive with pounds. Airport exchanges were a ripoff (especially in Paris!) and currency exchanges are clearly out to make money. This is real money you can save.
