Hotels near Shakespeare Monument in London

What an amazing hotel and and even better experience! Check in was super smooth and very friendly reception team. Our room was just amazing, the bed was ultra comfortable with the usual high quality linens which made for a perfect night’s sleep. Lots to do in the hotel even if it is just sitting in the lounge seats watching the world go by in the bustling Leicester Square. Cocktail choices were very unique and perfectly blended, food was just as good with some amazing dishes. There was a Souk inspired evening when we were there which we loved as the music was great to listen to whilst having a few drinks. I loved the breakfast being à la carte as opposed to a buffet as the service is much more personable. Can’t wait to come back!

On arrival the check in desk was extremely busy however they were really quick! We were over an hour early and as the rooms were ready they gave us the keys straight away! Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome immediately. Location was perfect!!! And a 2 minute walk to the dominion theatre to see sister act!! Rooms are small but they had everything we needed for a weekend break. Shower was powerful with plenty of heat. Only criticism is there was no cups to put ice in by the machines and tv channels weren’t the best as they kept buffering. Will definitely stay here again .

First , they double charge me , second, i didnt get any of my benefits, not early checks in not late check out , i didnt get upgraded, the receptionist ann marry (?polish) was very rude , and races , she shouldnt be a working in hospitality industry, plus the room dont have iron board and iron i order one and they took it ba k on the next day, we ask for adapter/ plug for charging not available, laundry bags not available and when i ask for one they send me a plastic bag like ikea one too big and dirty, On the check in no one welcome me as ihg member or ask me what i like as amenities, unless i ask , during the breakfast , the waitress was shutting at us for sitting outdoor on 2 seat table and we almost blocked the way although there is no partition along the balcony , Order a coffee took over 20 mins , the manager ( polish guy as well) very arrogant and rude he was saying i have 10 coffee orders and we had to wait for how long he dont know fruit was old and flies all over, my friend get hair in his omelette, i ask for a bottle of water they said its chargeable , they serve a tap water and they add ice with their hands , the same manager was washing cups of coffee with his hands and water only …. Health department should close this restaurant. Corridors are dirty, U had to wait for elevator for 10 mins every time u wanna go up and down For the money and the price i could stay in many better hotels never again to such place IHG should be ashamed and remove this hotel from their booking system

Location and service are some highlights. The nice big bed was pleasing. Room could use some TLC though - Broken/off hinge cupboards, a lamp didn’t work with any switches, a switch socket was also slightly lose. Mirror was in a random area, with little lighting. Breakfast opens at 7, I was there at 7:10 and hot breakfast items were already on the colder side.

We weren't sure what to expect as we had never stayed in a 'pod' before but we were suitably impressed. A few minutes from Picadilly Circus tube station, it was clean and comfortable. The room was very quiet & the shower was wonderful. Good quality towels & bedding. Toiletries included. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Edison is as good as ever and of such quality. Hotels in London are too expensive, so I booked the cheapest room type. On the downside, there is no view from the window. This hotel has a great feeling, the entrance is very beautiful, but there are many bars around at night, it would be scary to walk on foot. The toiletries are still specially customized by le labo. In the morning, the downstairs smells like coffee, and when you come back at night, it smells like le labo the noir, which is very comfortable. The room is fully equipped, the toilet is fully surrounded by rain, and there is mineral water. The light switch is also very delicate.

We had already planned to come to London for months. It turned out we arrived after the Queen Elizabeth’s death @7AM English time on September 12th , Angel greeted us with a big smile and told us our room was ready. It’s a terrific hotel You could not have a more helpful staff.,Barbara and Angel entire staff. The location is perfect next to Charring Cross tube,near West End, Walking distance to Government Buildings Diagonal to Trafalgar Square . I would give it higher than 5 .if I could.Will definitely go back and stay . I have told my friends at home . Thanks for a great visit,

Good location near Russell Square station, walking distance to Tottenham Court Road, Euston (15min). Room is basic and comfortable. Doors slam very loudly and cause disturbance at night. There was a function one night that lasted till almost midnight and the noise/music reverberations travelled a couple of floors up.

The hotel was good but not 5 star. The room was small and air conditioning was not the best. Tv was not working so had to mess around with cables to get it on. Some of the furniture was chipped. The breakfast was okay one day, the next two mornings were hit and miss. Cold beans, lukewarm scrambled eggs and also hard fried eggs. I would expect better from a 5 star environment. Overall the hotel location was very good and the bed and servicing of the room was good. The room amenities were poor. Teabags(4) No flavoured teas, no biscuits, no hot chocolate sachets and a coffee machine with (4) pods and a metre electric cord and two metres from a socket. Like I said, far too many little things wrong to be a 5 star establishment. Overall was ok but for 360 pounds a night you are having a laugh.

We stayed here for 12 nights in late September, arriving the day after the Queen's funeral. We were able to check in to room #306 immediately, being lucky that an early check-in was possible. Later in the day we saw many more people checking in, so we beat the rush, thankfully! This location is, literally by definition, and the absolute epicenter of London. Charing Cross Road and Trafalgar Square are considered the historic center of the metropolis, and this hotel is right in the middle of it, soundproofed within an inch of its life. As quiet as is possible. We had the city-view room, and it is worth the extra cost. There room isn't as small as I was led to believe, but it surprisingly lacks a table or chair, and there's no closet space, only a place to hang a few items. And there's no TV. But that's all that it is lacking. The bathroom is modern and up-to-date, and the shower is to die for. We were able to procure an iron and board when we needed them, and they were removed when we were through. Ask and it shall be possible. A shout-out to every single staff member working there - they were friendly, knowledgeable, and treated us like honored guests. They made a great stay even more fantastic! If and when I ever get back to London, I'll be here again.
